Decades-Long Tradition Kicks-Off December 1
PALM SPRINGS, CA (November 11, 2017) On December 1st, a decades-long tradition resumes when holiday choir season commences at the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway. Every Friday, Saturday and Sunday through December 15th, a different middle or high school choir performs holiday favorites at the Tram’s Mountain Station.
For the 2017 holiday season, the Tramway is proud to present the following line-up:
- Friday, December 1 – Jurupa Valley High School Chamber Singers
- Saturday December 2 – Rubidoux High School Chamber Choir
- Sunday, December 3 – Palm Springs High School Madrigals & String Quartet

- Friday, December 15 – The Lions’ Pride Chamber Singers (Cathedral City H.S.)
Brian Holm, Choral Director of Martin Luther King High School, recalls, “Our choir has performed at the Tram for at least a decade. But back in the ‘70s, I performed there as part of my own high school choir, so I have quite a history with the Tram.” He adds, “We love sharing our music with Tram audiences, especially in such an amazing setting.”
Show times are 5:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m., and are complimentary with regular Tram admission. Performances are on the Pines Café Stage with food and beverage service available from either the Pines Café or the Lookout Lounge. (Note: The 5:00 p.m. performance on December 3rd is outside on the Desert View Terrace as part of the tree lighting ceremony.) Open seating (no reservations taken).
