At Christmas you may have heard and seen Areté Singers somewhere throughout the greater San Francisco Bay area performing as Christmas carolers dressed in Dickens or holiday-themed costumes. Areté Singers consist of artists from SF Symphony, SF Opera, Livermore Valley Opera and major community choruses throughout the bay area. The singers have performed for the SF 49ers, at wineries in Napa and Sonoma, at many tree lightings, and for numerous senior care facilities. 2023 marks the concert debut of Areté Singers.
