In the second concert of its 2024-25 season, the Santa Ynez Valley Concert Series will present counter tenor John Holiday collaborating with pianist Kevin Miller, 4 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 1 at St. Mark’s in the Valley Church, 2901 Nojoqui Ave., Los Olivos.
“This is an incredible coup for the Santa Ynez Valley Concert Series,” said artistic director Robert Cassidy. “John Holiday is a rising star in the music world with his distinctively sweet counter tenor voice, commanding a wide amount of repertoire, from baroque to spirituals, and modern music.
“With his prize in the 2020 NBC singing contest ‘The Voice,’ to his recent appearances with the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra and on NPR’s ‘Tiny Desk Concerts,’ Holiday has developed an immense following.
“We are so fortunate to have him and the talented Kevin Miller performing for us in this one-night only presentation.”
Holiday and Miller offer a recital program of historical significance, highlighting classical song cycles by Florence Price and Margaret Bonds, selections from Robert L. Morris Lyric Suite cycle of spirituals in gospel style, songs from the American songbook, and works by other contemporary composers.
