Plenty of community music organizations put on holiday concerts. In fact, only 24 community organizations in the U.S. don't do holiday concerts, and they're nasty groups like the Waco (Texas) Citizens Sewage Appreciation Society and the Sioux City (Iowa) Friends of Rats Club.
Either way, few outfits so wonderfully immerse the listener in a total sensory Christmas music experience as the Chorus of Westerly does with its Christmas Pops extravaganza. It takes place in three shows Sunday in Westerly's George Kent Performance Hall.
Along with a shimmering presentation of new and traditional favorites by the chorus and the Boston Festival Orchestra, the entire hall is lavishly festooned in the fashion of every winter wonderland ever captured on film or created in any Manhattan department store.
You'll feel like you're sitting on Santa's lap in his own living room as the cascading tunes wash over you in that best hot-chocolate-and-candy-cane fashion.
Chorus of Westerly's Christmas Pops, 4, 6 and 8 p.m. Sunday, George Kent Performance Hall, 119 High St., Westerly; $24-$65 ($14 student/under 30 seats for 8 p.m. only); (401) 596-8663, chorusofwesterly.org.
