FIFTH ANNUAL HOLIDAY ENTERTAINMENT SERIES FOR TROLLEY RIDERS
by ECM | December 8, 2011 7:38 pm
December 8, 2011 (San Diego)–The Orange Line’s fifth annual Holiday Entertainment Series starts Monday morning December 12 at the 62nd Street/Encanto Trolley Station. Jazz vocalist Rodney Hutsona kicks off the series which will also include performers from the Southeastern San Diego area.
The holiday music tradition is spearheaded by San Diego Council President and MTS Board Member Anthony Young, with support from the Jacobs Center for Neighborhood Innovation, Coca-Cola, and MTS. This is Council President Young’s fifth year to offer the holiday music series.
“I hope this music will make this holiday season more enjoyable for the community.” Council President Young said, “Last year the music put smiles on the faces of many bus and trolley riders as they arrived to go to work or when they returned home.”
The funding from Councilman Young was made possible through the City of San Diego’s Commission for Arts and Culture.
“The music is a holiday treat for riders and will make their morning or afternoon commute that more enjoyable,” said MTS CEO Paul Jablonski.
The schedule alternates between morning and afternoon performances at either the Euclid Avenue and 62nd Street Trolley Stations:
