Santa Monica High School Choral Music presents its
Winter Choral Concert, Motus Perpetuus XIX


On Friday, December 13, at 7:00 p.m., the Santa Monica High School Choral Music department will present the 19th annual "Motus Perpetuus," a beautiful and truly unique Winter Choral Concert of Perpetual Motion featuring all of our choirs. During this concert, students move throughout Barnum Hall as they perform, and applause is held until after the very last piece, so the music's motion can flow and continue without interruption. The result is a stunning concert experience!

Choir alums are invited to the stage to sing the Hallelujah Chorus and Samohi Hymn of Praise.

Doors will open for seating at 6:30pm, and the concert will begin promptly at 7:00pm.

Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for students & seniors 65+.

This winter concert often sells out, so don't wait - purchase tickets online in advance. Spread the word and invite your friends!
