SAMOHI — Thursday, Dec. 18, the Santa Monica High School Choral Studies Program will present its annual winter concert at 7 p.m. in Barnum Hall on the Santa Monica High School campus. The concert features the six Samohi choirs and other student groups performing a wide variety of music, including music of the season.
Before the concert, the fire-curtain mural by Stanton Macdonald-Wright, “Entry of the Gods into Valhalla,” will be lowered so that people can see the results of its three-month cleaning and restoration that took place over the summer. The $94,000 project was financed by funds collected by the Restore Barnum Hall committee, with a 50-percent matching grant from the Getty Foundation.
Admission to the concert is $7 at the door, and free parking is available in Samohi’s upper lot, which can be entered from the alley off Michigan Avenue between Lincoln and Seventh Street.
