Conductor R. Joseph Scott rings in the holiday season with a festive Holiday Pops! Concert. Holiday Pops! is a perennial concert favorite for the whole family. This most cherished holiday tradition is always a sold-out concert.

On the program: Sleigh Ride, The Christmas Song, Polar Express Suite, Russian Christmas Music, a big work that features the whole orchestra with a robust and full symphony orchestra sound, and Fantasia on We Three Kings, a serious concert piece with a more modern sound. Also on the program will be Hallelujah Chorus, Festive Sounds of Hanukah and much more.
