Description

Holiday Pops is an annual orchestral concert series designed to celebrate the festive season through live music. This event brings together community members for an evening of seasonal entertainment performed by a professional symphony orchestra.

Attendees will enjoy a curated program featuring classic holiday carols, contemporary winter hits, and timeless musical arrangements. David Glover serves as the conductor for this performance, leading the orchestra through a range of festive movements. A special feature of the event is an early appearance by Santa Claus, providing a unique opportunity for families and guests to visit before the music begins. The program is designed to deliver a high quality, immersive listening experience that highlights orchestral talent.

This concert is suitable for all ages and welcomes families, music enthusiasts, and anyone looking to embrace the holiday spirit in a formal setting. The atmosphere is intended to be bright, celebratory, and welcoming for every guest. We invite you to join us for this seasonal tradition to enjoy an unforgettable evening of performance and community connection. Please ensure you arrive early to take advantage of the pre concert activities.
