concert will include the Ukrainian Bell Carol, Noel Francais, It's

feet while enjoying songs such as Santa Baby, Santa Claus is Coming
to Town, Jingle Bell Rock, Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, Winter
Wonderland, The First Noel and Have a Cool Yule.

KAMA is excited to offer Music Together®!
In addition to our current offerings in music, dance, and acting, Keizer Academy of Music & Arts is proud to offer Music Together®, an internationally recognized early childhood music program for babies, toddlers, preschoolers, kindergarteners, and the adults who love them. First offered to the public in 1987, it pioneered the concept of a research-based, developmentally appropriate early childhood music curriculum that strongly emphasizes and facilitates adult involvement.
Classes are based on the recognition that all children are musical. All children can learn to sing in tune, keep a beat, and participate with confidence in the music of our culture, provided that their early environment supports such learning. Jayna Bacon, pictured at left, is KAMA's Registered Music Together Teacher.
Please see http://www.keizeracademyofmusic.org/ for information on registering for a 10-week session, or to find out more about this wonderful program!

In addition to being Executive Director of Salem Chamber Orchestra, Noreen Murdock is an accomplished pianist. A graduate of Willamette University music program, she has participated in the American Institute of Musical Studies in Graz (2007), was a staff accompanist at Willamette University from 2005-2008, and was the accompanist/coach for the Dramatic Vocal Arts (opera) program there.

Mitch Iimori, SCO’s principal oboist since 2000, was born and raised in Kanagawa, Japan. He started playing the piano at age seven, and classical guitar at eight. Later he taught himself banjo and it has been his main instrument to this day. He reluctantly picked up oboe at age 13 by his older brother’s command. He graduated from Eastman School of Music with a Bachelor of Music. Mitch now plays over 50 instruments and performs at least ten instruments professionally (check out his MySpace page, “Mitch, the Ultimate Multi-Instrumentalist”).

■Silk Mountain Project: Danny Seidenberg & Daryl Silberman, violas; Noah Seitz, cello; and Chris Woitach, guitar
The Silk Mountain Project was created in 2009 to advance the cause of chamber jazz/pop/rock improvisational crossover styles played by strings… and in particular to celebrate the unique voice of the viola. There’s a style for everyone, a fun and eclectic mix. Silk Mountain is the English translation of the name “Seidenberg.” It all finds inspiration in the beautiful mountains of Oregon.
Also enjoy readings from author Jessica Maxwell’s new book, Roll Around Heaven. Ms. Maxwell’s book is currently the best-selling spiritual book at Powell’s Books! She will be on hand to custom autograph your new copy, and a portion of all books sold that night will be donated to Salem Chamber Orchestra! Also, the first twelve people to buy a book gets a special treat courtesy of Itsy Bitsy Bakeshop.
Check out Willamette Master Chorus's upcoming performances too! KAMA voice teacher, Michelle Mendoza sings alto in the choir.
