A Charlie Brown Christmas Album Live

The beloved Vince Guaraldi jazz score comes to life Monday, December 16 at Cotuit Center for the Arts, performed by three of Cape Cod's finest musicians.

A Jazz Standard Born from Peanuts

Since the "Peanuts" holiday special first aired in 1965, Vince Guaraldi's score has become one of the most recognizable jazz recordings of all time. The "A Charlie Brown Christmas" album captures something rare: the pure, unadulterated meaning of Christmas, distilled into piano, bass, and brushed drums. This live performance brings that timeless sound back to life, performed by three of Cape Cod's finest musicians, in the intimate setting where it was always meant to be heard.

Three of Cape Cod's Finest

Malcolm Granger, Rich Hill, and Michael Dunford are donating their talent to bring this beloved classic to life.
