Description

Enjoy this wonderful musical celebration of the holidays, featuring creative arrangements of Christmas favorites old and new, a musical tribute to Hanukkah, and works inspired by the season. Bells serve as a central theme, including a fun play on Jingle Bells for brass and Sean O'Loughlin's cool arrangement of Carol of the Bells. No holiday season is complete without sleigh rides, including the R&B-inspired You Better Sleigh!, Prokofiev's Midnight Sleighride, and Leroy Anderson's classic Sleigh Ride. Other works include Howard Hanson's band standard Chorale and Alleluia, Steve Reisteter's moving tribute to Hanukkah, The Eighth Candle, and a fun mambo-infused version of Up on the Housetop. The joyous evening concludes with a good-old Christmas sing-along! Don't forget the festive cocktail hour prior to the concert at 6pm and the amazing desserts and coffee afterwards. All proceeds will benefit St. John of Damascus.
