Matheus, who goes by \u201cTrumpetchristman\u201d on Instagram, also plays flugelhorn, French horn, and all manner of brass, woodwind and percussion instruments, including piano. \u201cPiano is actually a percussion instrument,\u201d he pointed out.<\/p>\n
The holiday mood continues this week with the Brooklyn Heights Garden Club\u2019s Christmas tree lighting on Wednesday, Dec. 17, at 5:30 p.m. at the entrance to the Promenade by Montague Street. Enjoy music by Peter Clark (who famously lifted spirits<\/a> by singing opera and show tunes for free during the pandemic), visit with Santa and afterwards, stroll down Montague Street for some early evening shopping.\u00a0<\/p>\n Caroling is a great way to beat back the dark on these shortest days of the year (the Winter Solstice and official start of winter for our hemisphere this year takes place on Sunday, Dec. 21, at 10:03 a.m. EST).<\/p>\n All are welcome to join the caroling<\/a> at St. Ann\u2019s Church, 157 Montague St., on Saturday, Dec. 20, from 6-7:30 p.m. Head for St. Ann\u2019s Clinton Street entrance to serenade passersby, and share cookies and hot beverages. All singing abilities are welcome. At 7:30 p.m., a group will venture out into the neighborhood, caroling in the streets and visiting a nearby nursing home and the local fire station.\u00a0<\/p>\n Would you rather join a daytime caroling group? On Saturday, Dec. 20, the Atlantic Avenue BID invites all to join in with caroling and treats from select Atlantic Avenue businesses from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. The group will be stopping at Page Sargisson Jewelry, Misha & Puf, M. Patmos and Assembly Line Shop between Hoyt and Bond streets.\u00a0<\/p>\n More daytime caroling takes place on Sunday, Dec. 21, at 1 p.m. at Plymouth Church, 75 Hicks St. Meet in Beecher Garden for an hour of singing through the neighborhood. Music will be provided.<\/p>\n The Cobble Hill Holiday Gather and Sing, a community event co-sponsored by the Cobble Hill Association and the Brooklyn Youth Chorus, takes place in Cobble Hill Park on Monday, Dec. 22, from 5:30-7:30 p.m. Join in for the singing (6-6:30 p.m.), community, cookies, cocoa and cider. The music director from the Brooklyn Youth Chorus will lead a sing-along of classic holiday tunes and festive songs, and BYC members will add their voices.
