The Pasadena Symphony’s annual Holiday Candlelight concert has been transformed into Home for the Holidays this season, delivered to viewers in a free live-stream available through December 21, 2020. Pasadena’s most sought-after holiday concert has sold out for the past nine years, and now patrons can enjoy this beloved event from the best seats in their house. This heartwarming community celebration will carry on the Pasadena Symphony’s tradition of filling your holidays with the joy of music.
Music Director David Lockington hosts this festive concert that features an array of ensembles including the Los Angeles Children’s Chorus, the Donald Brinegar Singers and the L.A. Bronze Handbell Ensemble, along with a sextet of Pasadena Symphony musicians. Lockington also appears throughout the program on cello, including for a piece he composed himself, with solo handbell artist Linda Krantz. Special guest Lisa Vroman adds her sparkling vocals to the performance. Regarded as a “musical and theatrical marvel” by the San Francisco Chronicle, Vroman has countless Broadway credits under her belt, most notably starring for over eight years on Broadway, in San Francisco, and in Los Angeles as Christine Daaé in The Phantom of the Opera.
This year’s program has something for everyone to ring in the holiday season, from traditional holiday classics to popular standards. Hear Silent Night, What Child is This?, Carol of the Bells, Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, Imagine, The Nutcracker Suite, Winter Wonderland, Let it Snow, and many more cherished favorites. Top off your holidays with lasting memories for the whole family at this time-honored tradition, now available for free from the comfort of your own living room.
