Don’t miss the event of the holiday season… Santa Monica High School Choir’s Winter Choral Concert of Perpetual Motion sung from throughout Barnum Hall. Choir Alums join Samohi Choirs for the beautiful Hallelujah Chorus! Tickets are available at the door. Parking is free at the Civic. 

Motus Perpetuus is our annual concert of perpetual motion, featuring all choirs in our program. Students perform from around Barnum Hall—the aisles, the balcony, the rear of the theater, and the stage—providing a pseudo-surround sound experience. The concert progresses without applause from one piece to the next; as one piece concludes another begins in another part of the hall.  Join us for this unique choral experience, a favorite of our concertgoers. Alumni are invited to the stage to sing the Hallelujah Chorus and Samohi Hymn of Praise.
