The orchestra will play music that will encompass a spectrum of styles and various aspects of Christmas. From hauntingly beautiful melodies that pay homage to that holy night when Christ was born, to wistful and yearning tunes that mourn the passing of each year, to merry and sprightly pieces that embody the lightheartedness of children and the goodwill of mankind, the orchestra celebrates this Yuletide season with the warmth and laughter of family and friends."
