MetWinds Holiday Pops Concert

Please join the MetWinds for our 2023 Holiday Pops Concert! Enjoy this wonderful musical celebration of the holidays, featuring creative arrangements of Christmas favorites old and new, a musical tribute to Hanukkah, and works inspired by the season. Bells serve as a central theme, including a fun play on Jingle Bells for brass and Sean O’Loughlin’s cool arrangement of Carol of the Bells. No holiday season is complete without sleigh rides, including the R&B-inspired You Better Sleigh!, Prokofiev’s Midnight Sleighride, and Leroy Anderson’s classic Sleigh Ride. Other works include Howard Hanson’s band standard Chorale and Alleluia, Steve Reisteter’s moving tribute to Hanukkah, The Eighth Candle, and a fun mambo-infused version of Up on the Housetop. The joyous evening concludes with a good-old Christmas sing-along!

Adult tickets are $20 each. Child tickets are free (ages 15 and younger). Price of admission also includes the festive cocktail hour beginning at 6pm, and amazing desserts and coffee after the performance. All proceeds will benefit St. John of Damascus Church.

Tickets may be purchased in advance, online at www.stjohnd.org/pops or at the door on the night of the concert. We recommend reserving your tickets early as this event has been a sell-out in past years.

This and other concerts by the MetWinds are funded in part by the Massachusetts Cultural Council and the National Endowment for the Arts.
