Under 𝐏𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐑𝐮𝐛𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐭’𝐬 expressive and charismatic leadership, the LPO brings beloved holiday music to life in vivid color. This festive program gathers generations of favorites, inviting audiences of all ages to revel in melodies that have become part of our collective holiday memory.
The evening opens with the magical charm of 𝐕𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐭’𝐬 𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑐ℎ 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑇𝑜𝑦𝑠, a glittering orchestral miniature filled with imagination and theatrical delight. Its playful rhythms and sparkling orchestration create the perfect doorway into an evening of celebration.
A suite of cherished classics follows, each lovingly re-imagined for orchestra. The warm lyricism of 𝑊ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑎 𝑊𝑜𝑛𝑑𝑒𝑟𝑓𝑢𝑙 𝑊𝑜𝑟𝑙𝑑, the tender intimacy of 𝐶ℎ𝑟𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑚𝑎𝑠 𝑇𝑖𝑚𝑒 𝐼𝑠 𝐻𝑒𝑟𝑒, and the wintery swing of 𝐿𝑒𝑡 𝐼𝑡 𝑆𝑛𝑜𝑤! glow with fresh vitality — especially with special guest 𝐋𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐲 𝐉𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬, whose unmistakable New Orleans trumpet sound brings heart, style, and hometown soul.
From the nostalgic sleigh bells of 𝐋𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐲 𝐀𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧’𝐬 𝑆𝑙𝑒𝑖𝑔ℎ 𝑅𝑖𝑑𝑒 to the serenity of 𝐻𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑌𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑠𝑒𝑙𝑓 𝑎 𝑀𝑒𝑟𝑟𝑦 𝐿𝑖𝑡𝑡𝑙𝑒 𝐶ℎ𝑟𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑚𝑎𝑠, the program weaves together moments of joy, reflection, and wonder. A spirited 𝐻𝑎𝑛𝑢𝑘𝑘𝑎ℎ 𝐹𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑣𝑎𝑙 𝑂𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑒 composed by 𝐋𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐬 𝐑𝐢𝐜𝐡𝐦𝐚𝐧 broadens the celebration, honoring the season’s rich tapestry of traditions. The evening culminates in a jubilant holiday sing-along that invites the entire hall to raise its voice.
Special guests 𝐀𝐥𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐬 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐚𝐮𝐱 and 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐠 lend warmth and character throughout the performance, adding layers of storytelling and expression to the orchestral landscape. Together, these musical treasures create a journey through holiday nostalgia, community celebration, and the joyful power of live performance.
