Tales of winter wonderlands abound in our December concert. The magical story of Rimsky Korsakov’s Snow Maiden brings a Russian winter fairy tale to life. Similarly, a magical frozen landscape will arrive in the concert hall with another story from a cold land, Lemminkäinen’s Return, by Jan Sibelius. And what holiday would be complete without a visit from St. Nick? Audiences of all ages will be entranced with Anthony DiLorenzo’s version of ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas and early American composer William Henry Fry’s charming Santa Claus Symphony. Narrated by Nathan Florence and conducted by Matthew Mainella and Robert Baldwin, this program promises to be the most unique holiday program of the season, and guaranteed to expand your holiday horizons!
