“A Christmas Celebration,” an annual holiday concert featuring the Santa Monica College Concert Chorale and other groups on Dec. 6 and 7, will feature special guest Peter Graves, actor and host of A&E’s “Biography.”

On the program will be works by Johann Sebastian Bach, Gerald Finzi and Daniel Pinkham. Closing the program will be the ever-popular seasonal music with audience sing-along on familiar carols, featuring Graves as guest narrator.

The annual concert features, in addition to the SMC Concert Chorale, the Chancel Choir of the First United Methodist Church, Los Angeles Concert Orchestra, South Bay Children’s Choir and Spirit of LA Ringers. The conductor is SMC music professor James Smith.

The suggested donation is $15 for general admission and $10 for students and senior citizens. The concert will begin at 7:30 p.m. and the church is located at 1008 11th St. For more information, call (310) 393-8258.
