♪♪♪ ♪♪♪ ♪♪♪ BJ Robinson: Welcome to the 2023 "KPBS Holiday Special."
I'm BJ Robinson.
This program is our gift to you this season.
It is a collection of some of San Diego's finest choirs presenting seasonal songs from houses of worship around our community.
We want to share with you the spirit of the holidays as performed by voices young and old representing all the emotions we feel this time of year.
This holiday special captures the culmination of years of dedication on the part of the choirs you will see in a moment.
We know you'll enjoy it.
At KPBS, we believe in the power of the human voice.
We believe in celebrating our differences along with celebrating those fundamental things that draw us together, like family and friends.
At this time of year, we cherish the time we spend with them and build memories for the future.
Thank you for joining us, and enjoy the show.
