Longmont Museum's holiday show going virtual with Saturday Web-a-Thon

The Longmont Museum’s annual holiday show is a long-standing tradition and a consistent sellout event.  This year’s show on Saturday promises to be equally entertaining, despite not being in front of a live audience at the Stewart Auditorium.

Stewart Auditorium Manager Justin Veach has arranged a lineup of some of Longmont’s favorite musicians, who will perform original tunes and holiday standards for the virtual fundraising show. 

In addition to music, the Annual Holiday Show: Web-a-Thon Edition will include interviews with local personalities and a few surprises. And, in support of the Longmont Museum, in classic telethon style, donations will be taken online and over the phone for the duration of the show.

So, who is on the program Saturday evening? 

Musician and composer Antonio Lopez, executive director of nonprofit Sound Bridge Music, who is working to support the Front Range music community as  it navigates the challenges posed by the coronavirus pandemic.
