Berkeley's own Opus Q takes the stage at the Julia Morgan for a joyous evening of holiday music, featuring classical, modern and traditional songs from composers like Morten Lauridsen, G.F. Handel, James Q. Mulholland and even Gordon Lightfoot. Opera Frontier's Artistic Director Gail Simpson also joins the 18-member male ensemble as a soloist for a hilarious set of variations on the standard "Jingle Bells" and performs music by Mozart for good measure. Expect a few surprises from Opus Q, too, as they spread their holiday cheer.

Lovely putting us all on the stage for the intimate setting that made a cold night warm, and lovely songs and carols, that were well done with humor and intelligence. Great Harmony!

Opus Q is a talented singing group with a holiday repertoire that runs from popular English Christmas carols to Spanish lullabys to Hebrew foll songs. The men were accompanied by a piano player, a violinist, a drummer, a bassist and -- as a special treat -- a female opera singer! I hadn't heard of Opus Q before this event, but I'll definitely be looking up their concerts in 2012!

One very minor gripe: the bassist was chewing gum throughout the performance.

Caught the last Christmas concert last night. Good group with balanced sound, good program choices, and noble intentions.
