We’re celebrating the season with music that is both reflective and radiant—sending audiences home with a melody in their hearts and a sense of holiday warmth. Our upcoming Holiday Pops concerts feature the full orchestra alongside VSO’s 80-voice chorus, leading spirited sing-alongs and performing festive favorites by Leroy Anderson, George Frideric Handel, Duke Ellington, and Georges Bizet. This year’s program also introduces two works new to VSO audiences: Margaret Bonds’ The Ballad of the Brown King , a powerful cantata honoring Balthazar with text by Langston Hughes, and Bob Krogstad’s Christmas at the Movies , a nostalgic medley featuring themes from The Grinch , The Polar Express , Miracle on 34th Street , and more. Beloved traditional carols round out this joyful, family-friendly holiday tradition.
