This weekend the Susanville Symphony will once again bring to life the holiday spirit of Lassen County with its annual Christmas Concert performances on Friday and Sunday.
The holiday concerts, featuring local musicians and singers, will be performed at the Assembly of God Church December 13th at 7:00p.m. and December 15th at 2:30p.m. Tickets, as always, are on sale at Leslie’s Jewelry so stop by today and reserve yours now.
“This is such a great concert for everyone” conductor Ben Wade says. “Who doesn’t love to go to the show for the holidays! It’s an American tradition really… dreaming of a white Christmas… Santa Claus and the wonder and thrill it all holds for children… sometimes dreaming of being a kid again. And of course there is the music that brings it all to life. You do not think of Christmas without singing in your head, or out loud, carols and popular songs that personify the season.”
The symphony this year will feature many of these easily recognizable songs along with current popular holiday hits. Of course there will also be classical Christmas music for those that love pure symphony music.
This year’s playlist will include movements from The Nutcracker by Peter Tchaikovsky, a beautiful Mannheim Steamroller arrangement of Auld Lang Syne for string orchestra and The most wonderful time of the year with vocalist Jon France.
For the child in all of us, the symphony will also perform Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer and A Charlie Brown Christmas.
The annual Christmas performance has become a tradition for folks here in Susanville and this year the performance is filled with glorious music to ring-in the season, including many of your favorite Christmas carols and an audience sing-along.
The Symphony promises, “an unforgettable evening of holiday and classical melodies.”
Performances will be held at the Assembly of God Church on Richmond Road Friday, December 13th, and Sunday, December 15th. Friday evening’s concert will start at 7:00 and Sunday’s performance starts at 2:30.
