Get ready to celebrate the “Sounds of the Season” with the Springfield Symphony Orchestra and Chorus. Guest conducted by William Waldrop and featuring American Idol star Michael Lynche, this family-friendly evening will be filled with beautiful and heartwarming music that is sure to kickstart a truly memorable holiday season. Join us as we highlight all of the exciting musical sounds of the holidays: from Michael Lynche’s soulful R&B versions of Christmas classics, to beautiful Hannukah melodies, to the orchestral magic of Tchaikovsky; from the incredible brass of a Sousa-inspired march, the sweeping strains of a hit holiday film score, to choristers raising their voices in timeless carols. This year’s concert will once again feature talented local high school choral students from Springfield and the surrounding area. Also expect the ever-popular audience sing-a-long and a special visit from Santa Claus. Don’t miss this unforgettable evening with the SSO and Chorus—and let the sounds of the season inspire joyous and peaceful holidays.
