Celebrate the warmth and wonder of the holiday season with Noël, a festive afternoon of orchestral favorites and seasonal storytelling.
The program opens with Simeone’s iconic “The Little Drummer Boy”, followed by Humperdinck’s sparkling “Prelude to Hansel and Gretel” and Percy Kay’s inventive “Variations on ‘Joy to the World.’” The first half concludes with Aaron Dai’s beloved narration of “The Night Before Christmas,” featuring guest narrator Greg Kostraba from your beloved radio station: KBACH.
After intermission, the orchestra returns with Rimsky-Korsakov’s richly colored “Christmas Eve Suite”, alongside timeless holiday classics including Irving Berlin’s “White Christmas,” Wyle & Pola’s “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year,” and Leroy Anderson’s exuberant “Sleigh Ride”, conducted by a very special guest!
Come celebrate the holidays with your favorite orchestra!
