Bask in the Splendor of the Holidays When Todd Wilson Joins Pacific Symphony in Concert

Celebrate the season with the king of instruments! Bringing joy to the world is premier organist Todd Wilson, who returns to Pacific Symphony for a heart-warming night of holiday music featuring the resplendent William J. Gillespie Concert Organ.

For this year's annual endeavor, "Holiday Organ Spectacular," the color, beauty and versatility of the organ, performed by Wilson, unites with Symphony musicians-Ben Smolen, flute; Elliott Moreau, bassoon; Barry Perkins, trumpet; Mindy Ball, harp; Robert Slack, percussion; and Timothy Landauer, cello-to spotlight a stirring mix of classical and popular Christmas carols. The thrilling sonorities of the pipe organ, along with superb instrumentalists playing a wide variety of holiday music, makes this a festive holiday event for listeners of all ages.

This concert, which launches the 2017-18 Pedals and Pipes series, takes place Tuesday, Dec. 19, at 7:30 p.m., in the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall. Tickets range from $15-$75; subscriptions for the three-concert series are $35-$155. For more information or to purchase tickets, call (714) 755-5799 or visit www.PacificSymphony.org.
