Join us for a festive celebration of the holiday season at Symphony NH's beloved annual Holiday Pops concert, conducted by Maestro Roger Kalia. This year's program promises to enchant and delight audiences of all ages. The concert will feature a delightful lineup, including the heartwarming melodies of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor's "Christmas Overture" and the joyful harmonies of Leroy Anderson's "Sleigh Ride."
Our Holiday Pops concert will also showcase a diverse array of holiday traditions, with Adam Shugar's "Hanukkah Overture for Clarinet and String Orchestra" and the timeless charm of Tchaikovsky's "Trepak" and "Pas de Deux" from "The Nutcracker."
And, of course, no holiday celebration would be complete without beloved classics like "Silent Night," "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," "How the Grinch Stole Christmas," and a heartwarming Christmas singalong, ensuring an unforgettable evening of music and merriment. So, mark your calendars and join us for a magical Holiday Pops concert that will leave you with cherished memories to last a lifetime.
