World-renowned pianist and multi-platinum recording artist Steven C Anderson returns with his treasured 9-foot Bösendorfer concert grand—affectionately known as Bosy—whose resonant bass sound and haunting sustain combine with the Cathedral's 8-second reverb for a sonic signature that is uniquely Steven C’s. New this year is a Cinematic Christmas Medley featuring hits from your favorite Christmas movies as you’ve never heard them done before!

Joining Steven C on stage are Pat Donohue—Grammy-winning guitarist known for his long-running role on A Prairie Home Companion, vocalists Jack Cassidy, Jillian Anderson, and Kathryn Budzien, with Nathan Wilson on violin and mandolin, Ben Osterhouse on cello, and internationally-celebrated organist Chris Ganza, who is once again set to pair the power of the Great Cathedral Pipe Organ paired with Steven C’s Bösendorfer for a breathtaking musical dialogue. The Cathedral St. Cecilia Children’s Choir will participate in both evening performances.

And, as always, expect the unexpected — costume changes, holiday mischief, and a few magical twists along the way.
