Congratulations to Matt Hennessey, Destiny Tavares and Brandon Vinson! Each wins a pair of tickets to this weekend’s Symphony performances!
Christmas Concert performances are slated for tonight, December 16th and tomorrow, the 17th. Tonight’s performance is at 7:00 and Saturday’s is at 2:30.
Artistic Director and Symphony Conductor Ben Wade says that this is his favorite concert of the year, in great part because of all of the families, home for the holidays, who come see the concerts together.
“It’s always great to see former youth musicians who played for the Academy of Music and the Symphony,” Wade adds.
This is the 19th annual performance of what has become a Susanville holiday tradition, featuring some of our hometown’s best musicians playing your seasonal favorites – Sleigh Ride, movements of the Nutcracker, White Christmas – enough musical cheer to warm the grinchiest of hearts.
Conductor and Artistic Director Ben Wade encourages families to attend the festive concert, promising a performance filled with a little something for people of all ages.
“You might know some of the music we play at our other concerts, but you will know, and hum, or sing along, to all of the holiday favorites.”
“Who doesn’t wait for the horse whinny at the end of Sleigh Ride? Who doesn’t want to sing shoulder to shoulder with your friends or family at the end of the concert carol sing-a -long.”
Performances will be held at the Susanville Methodist Church on South Lassen Street and tickets are $30 each. You can buy them at Margie’s Book Nook or Axia Home Loans. For more information call the Symphony Hotline at 530.310.8111.
Wade says, “Don’t be a scrooge, splurge on yourself and your loved ones this holiday season!”
