Boston Conservatory Orchestra
'Tis the Season - Annual Traditions
Sunday, December 3, 2023
Concert: 7:00pm
Doors: 6:30pm
’Tis the Season—Annual Traditions is a symphonic celebration of the December holidays. Just as operas perform Hansel and Gretel, ballets perform The Nutcracker, and New Year’s Eve brings Die Fledermaus, so symphony orchestras perform Christmas and Chanukah music for young and old! Samuel Coleridge-Taylor’s Christmas Overture and Robert Wendel’s arrangement of Chanukah music begin a program that includes selections from traditional holiday repertoire and concludes with a rousing suite of favorites from Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker. This performance is suitable for music lovers of all ages.
Bruce Hangen joined the Conservatory in 2003. He serves as the Conservatory’s orchestral conductor as well as director of both the orchestral and conducting programs.
