From the Artistic Director Thank you for joining us for this webcast of our popular annual concert event, A Tribute to the Music of A Charlie Brown Christmas. Originally broadcast in 1965, A Charlie Brown Christmas is hands-down one of the most beloved specials in TV history. Commissioned by Peanuts creator Charles M. Schulz, Vince Guaraldi composed and performed the timeless contemporary jazz score which wonderfully reflects both the spirit of the legendary Peanuts charac- ters and the Christmas season. The Glen Pearson Trio will treat you to new interpretations of these beloved songs, as well as jazz versions of several classic holiday tunes. We’ve also got a special guest jazz hipster, who will give you a jazz rendition of the one poem we’re all likely to know by heart. In addition, don’t miss Soundcheck with Glen Pearson, a video interview that is also available for you to enjoy. Glen has lots of great stories about the history of the Peanuts specials and the unique music created for them. We could not have presented such a wonderful performance without the generous support of First Republic Bank, and Paul and Anna Turner, and members of the SJW community such as yourself. Your continued support will help make more jazz webcasts and livestreams possible.

Please enjoy this wonderful jazz performance, and from all of us at SJW, we wish you very Happy Holidays.
