During the holiday season, Ethan Schlesser produces an event at Old First called the JINGLE BELL JAMBOREE.

Schlesser started the event in 2001, as a way to bring some community healing and togetherness after 9/11.  The event was so uplifting and successful that he’s repeated it each holiday season. Every year, he  brings chorus groups, dancers, community performances, and always a big fun sing-a-long as the grand finale. 

The Jingle Bell Jamboree is a non-denomination family event!  This year we will have MS 51 Show Choir, Brooklyn Tech HS Chamber chorus, Dancewave, Spoke the Hub Dance, the Old First Family String Band – and the Brooklyn Community Chorus. 

The event is on Sunday, Dec. 16th at 5pm at Old First.
