Day 7 of the Norris Cultural Arts Fourth Annual Baker’s Dozen Holiday Festival features Jim Perona.
One of Chicagoland’s most in-demand classically trained guitarists, Jim Perona shares a beautiful medley of two Christmas favorites, “God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen,” and “Silent Night.”
Each day leading up to Christmas, Norris will post a different artist perfoming a Christmas-related piece leading up to “The Essential Christmas Carol,” a unique retelling of Dickens’ holiday classic by Norris’ Michael Sherry. Episodes are posted daily at 7pm at https://norrisculturalarts.com/bakers-dozen-festival.
The Justa Coupla Guys podcast recently spoke with Sherry and the Center’s Director Mark Smith about this year’s presentation. (Stick around to the end to hear former mayor Ray Rogina’s performative reading of “T’was the Night Before Christmas.”)
