Pasadena's Most Cherished Holiday Concert Returns with the Pasadena Symphony at All Saints Church

Pasadena Symphony's annual Holiday Candlelight concert returns to All Saints Church on Saturday, December 17, 2016. Having sold out the past five years in a row, the concert will offer two performances to meet community demand at 4:00pm & 7:00pm. The architecturally exquisite and acoustically sonorous All Saints Church, Pasadena's equivalent of a European cathedral, provides the perfect setting to hear your holiday favorites - all performed by candlelight. Audiences are going to love each and every moment of this cherished holiday tradition.

Conductor Grant Cooper leads an array of choruses including the Los AngeLes Children's Chorus, the Donald Brinegar Singers and the L.A. Bronze Handbell Ensemble, set against the backdrop of the Pasadena Symphony. Special guest Sarah Uriarte Berry will accompany the orchestra as vocalist. With countless Broadway credits under her belt including Belle in Disney's Beauty and the Beast, Diana in the Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize winning Next To Normal and Les Miserables' Eponine, Berry is sure to bring an unforgettable performance.

The program has something for everyone, from holiday classics to popular standards. Hear What Child is This?, Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, Jingle Bells, Hallelujah! and many more favorites. Top off the holiday season with lasting memories for the whole family. The venue will again offer fully individual assigned seating available throughout All Saints' glorious interior, ensuring that the audience can enjoy their experience with ease and have a well-deserved break from the hustle and bustle of the season.

Tickets to Holiday Candlelight with the Pasadena Symphony are limited and will sell out. Reservations start at $20 and may be purchased either at pasadenasymphony-pops.org or by calling the box office at (626) 793-7172.

Holiday Candlelight tops off a blockbuster holiday season for the Pasadena Symphony, starting with the 49th Annual Holiday Look In Home Tour, December 3th and 4th. A showcase of Pasadena's magnificent architecture both historical and new, the Holiday Look In offers an intimate tour of four distinctive homes in the Pasadena area, decorated for the holiday season in full floral regalia. Pasadena's finest floral designers will adorn each home, including Drew Domenghini, Margit Holakoui, Ixora Floral Studio and Jacob Maarse. Visitors can take a relaxing stroll through the gardens, accompanied by music from Pasadena Symphony musicians, and shop to their heart's content at the Holiday Look In Boutique, located at the Scottish Rite Cathedral, 150 N. Madison Ave in Pasadena.

Organized by the Women's Committee of the Pasadena Symphony Association, proceeds from the Holiday Look In support the Pasadena Symphony and POPS annual concert series, as well as educational and community outreach programs including the Pasadena Youth Symphony Orchestras.
