For many people this time of year, coming together with neighbors and singing sacred music in a beautiful place is an impulse not to be ignored. For the 15th straight year, Elena Sharkova and the Symphony Silicon Valley Chorale will be answering the call. In the holiday glow of the lovely old California Theatre, the chorale—with help from opera and Broadway star Lisa Vroman—will sing the holiday songs so many of us know by heart, such as “Silent Night,” “Joy to the World” and “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.” Audience participation is highly encouraged.
