The Guelph Symphony Orchestra’s Christmas offering is a blend of classics and festive seasonal music presented on Dec. 11 at 3pm at River Run Centre.
It welcomes the Grand River Chorus, with international opera star baritone James Westman, and performs music by Bach, Handel, Vaughan Williams, and Tchaikovsky. The audience is invited to join for the annual sing-along.
Making her debut this season, artistic director and conductor Judith Yan hopes the second concert of the season will bring Guelph audiences into the Christmas spirit. “Come be a part of the GSO holiday celebrations … Make GSO’s European Noël your first party of the season,” she said.
The 2011-12 season also launches Classical Connect, GSO’s new under 30 ticket series. Anyone under 30 can purchase a regular priced ticket for $20 from 6pm Friday until the Sunday concert time of 3pm. Tickets are available online or in person for best available seats. Proof of age is required at time of collection.
Tickets are available at 519-763-3000 or online at riverrun.ca.
