Saxophone Christmas 2025
On Saturday, my family and I went to Eastridge Mall in San Jose to see the Saxophone Christmas concert. It only happens once a year in the city and in Sacramento. Dozens of volunteers with various saxophones perform classic Christmas songs to a full crowd. It’s been several years since I’ve last seen their concerts while it’s my family’s first time.
Over 20 years ago, I took up the saxophone and learned from various teachers. I practiced all the time and even performed at a recital. My last teacher encouraged me to volunteer for Saxophone Christmas but I had to drop out due to a death of a cousin.
Unfortunately, practice waned and I eventually stopped due to being so busy with work and unable to play without disturbing neighbors. Anyway, if you’re in San Jose or Sacramento and you’re able to, check out Saxophone Christmas. It’s free and fun to watch.
