Get your tickets early as the “Holiday Spectacular” is sure to be a sell out for both nights! Enjoy the performance hall getting spruced up both inside and out as the S.O. transforms the space to get you in the right mindset for the holidays. Holiday vendors will be selling items, and the orchestra will perform some holiday favorites -  from Bizet’s “Farandole” to soprano Saundra DeAthos enchanting us with “O Holy Night” and “Where are You Christmas”. The big present under the tree will be the premiere of “Clara & the Nutcracker Prince”, as arranged by S.O. music director Wojciech Milewski. This unique twist on the Nutcracker combines the beloved music and story of Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker with the music and stories of Bizet and Respighi.
