Nashville Symphony Announces Upcoming Holiday Concerts

The Nashville Symphony celebrates the holiday season with a trio of seasonal offerings. They include a holiday sing-along special, "Home for the Holidays," on Thursday, December 10; Handel's beloved Messiah, led by Nashville Symphony Chorus Director George Mabry, on December 17, 18 and 19; and the sold-out Ann & Monroe Carell Family Trust Pied Piper children's concert, "Happy Holidays! A Winter Wonderland," on December 19. All events take place in Laura Turner Concert Hall at Schermerhorn Symphony Center, located in downtown Nashville at One Symphony Place.

HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS: Thursday, December 10, at 7 p.m.

Resident Conductor Albert-George Schram, the Nashville Symphony and Chorus and the Blair Children's Chorus usher in the holidays with this first-ever special featuring everyone's seasonal favorites. The program ranges from traditional carols and a medley of Santa Claus tunes to such festive international selections as "Brazilian Sleigh Bells." Audience members are encouraged to sing along, and lyrics will be provided. Beginning one hour prior to the concert, the Schermerhorn lobbies will be filled with a festive mix of hand bell performers, Fannie Battle carolers and various student instrumentalists.

Tickets start as low as $27.50 and can be purchased by calling the Symphony Center Box Office at 615.687.6400, or by going online to NashvilleSymphony.org. This unique event is made possible by the generous support of First Tennessee.

HANDEL'S MESSIAH: Thursday, December 17, at 7 p.m.; Friday, December 18, at 8 p.m.; and Saturday, December 19, at 8 p.m.

Handel's Messiah has been a highly anticipaTed Nashville tradition for decades. No holiday season at the Schermerhorn would be complete without a performance of this beloved oratorio, and there's no better place to experience it than inside Laura Turner Concert Hall. Chorus Director George Mabry returns to lead this year's concerts featuring the Nashville Symphony and Chorus. Beginning one hour prior to each of the three concerts, the Schermerhorn lobbies will be filled with a festive mix of handbell performers, Fannie Battle carolers and various student instrumentalists.

Tickets start as low as $37.50 and can be purchased by calling the Symphony Center Box Office at 615.687.6400 or by going online to NashvilleSymphony.org. This program is made possible by the generous support of presenting sponsor Fifth Third Bank, concert sponsor First Baptist Church Nashville and media sponsor Comcast Spotlight.
