With support from the Park Slope Parents, Park Slope Civic Council and The Old First Reformed Church, The 9th Annual Jingle Bell Jamboree concert on Saturday
night, Dec. 19, at 7 PM, will feature performances from an impressive line-up of Brooklyn-based performing ensembles including: The MS 51 Show Choir, The ‘Old First’ Family String Band, Paradizo Dance, The Berkeley Carroll Rock and Soul Review, “Life Lines” Community Arts of Sunset Park, and the Brooklyn Community Chorus. 

In addition, Jingle Bell Jamboree founder and producer, Ethan Schlesser and Rev. Daniel Meeter host and leads a festive sing-a-long throughout the show.

Schlesser originally created as a way to bring healing after the 9/11 tragedy. He continues to produce the event with the support of the Brooklyn community, including Borough President, Marty Markowitz.  In addition, Marlene Clary, director of the Brooklyn Community Chorus donates her time to help make the event a success, the Berkeley Carroll school offers their choral risers, and The Civic Council helps defray the costs of the promotional materials and programs.  This year, Park Slope Parents is joining in and  promoting a ‘winter coat’ drive, collecting coats which will be donated to local shelters.

There is a  $5 -$10 (children/adult) suggested donation. 100% of the proceeds goes towards the minimal expenses of the production and to the non-profit arts organizations that provide services to our community.  Schlesser, who donates all his time and energy adds, “Take a break from the holiday stress and wander into ‘Old First’. It’s a fun way to spend an evening and join in the holiday spirit”. 

Date: Saturday, Dec. 19th @ 7:00 PM.  

Location: Old First Reformed Church is located on 7th Ave and Carroll St  (729 Carroll) in Park Slope.
