When it comes to holiday tunes you don’t forget, there’s Bing Crosby wishing for a white Christmas, and Nat King Cole roasting chestnuts on an open fire. And then there’s Linus and Lucy, Vince Guaraldi’s jazzy theme from A Charlie Brown Christmas that’s been in our ears just as much for more than fifty years.

The Prince Edward County Jazz Festival and The Empire are proud to present the beloved holiday jazz soundtrack from the TV special that has uniquely entertained both children and adults since 1965. It has made the grade as a holiday classic.

Our trio, featuring Canadian first-call musicians who’ve won awards from Junos to Grammys, will present what will arguably be this year’s gold medal version of A Charlie Brown Christmas.
