A Charlie Brown Christmas


We took a friend along with us to enjoy “David Benoit Christmas Tribute to Charlie Brown.”  

From Kirkland Performance Center website - “This show is a family friendly, hip jazz show that is warm and entertaining. This is a show conceived by Pianist, composer David Benoit. The show features the music from the original hit television show “A Charlie Brown Christmas” performed by David Benoit and his trio …  While primarily focusing on the music of Vince Guaraldi, the original composer of the show, Benoit and the trio also feature new original music, (Benoit was the composer of the last several episodes,) and music from “You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown” the hit Broadway musical.”

The music was wonderful. Vocalist Sara Gazarek was born & raised in Seattle. There was a wonderful children’s choir, a bass guitarist and a drummer. The music was so happy.
