First up is Rose City Swing’s Holiday Affair X, the 16-piece-band’s spirited take on the season. Clas sic yultetide tunes and standards by the likes o f Glenn Miller, Count Basie, Benny Goodman and more will get folks in the mood, especially on the high-stepping heels o f a free, pre-show group dance lesson (and no host beer and wine bar). Then there’s perennial favorite the Portland Gay Men’s Chorus, who sell out every year with their holiday extravaganza. For their 32nd season, the 130-voice-strong PG M C deck the digital halls with “Joy to the (Modern) World,” a program featuring four different interpretations on “modern,” and the promise o f high-tech hijinks. From old standbys to “new-fashioned” inspirations, a playful tribute to the family at home to selections from as far away as India, Israel and Spain, this is a can’t-miss affair for all ages. Whatever your seasonal speed— song, dance, or a combination thereof—don’t delay. Get your tickets now and start your own tradition. Rose C ity Sw in g: Dec. 3, 8 p.m .
