Pasadena Symphony’s Holiday Candlelight at All Saints Church
With all-new reserved seating, Pasadena Symphony’s Holiday Candlelight concert makes it easy to step out of the hustle and bustle of the holidays. This, Pasadena’s most cherished holiday concert has been known to sell out before the turkey hits the table and returns once again with two performances to meet community demand on December 14, 2013 at 4:00 pm & 7:00 pm. Held at the architecturally exquisite and acoustically sonorous All Saints Church, audiences will delight in this concert of seasonal favorites guaranteed to deliver the essence of the holiday spirit.
This highly anticipated concert features Grant Cooper and special guests including soprano Susan Egan, a full chorus of the Donald Brinegar Singers, the Los Angeles Children’s Chorus, and the LA Bronze hand bell choir. Performed by candlelight in Pasadena’s equivalent of a European cathedral, Cooper weaves a continuous, immersive concert featuring traditional and diverse holiday melodies creating an aural respite without compare!
“We’re so proud to offer what has now become a cherished annual tradition for so many in this community,” states Lora Unger, CEO of the Pasadena Symphony Association. “This year, we’ve developed new fully assigned seating throughout All Saints glorious interior to ensure our audiences are able to enjoy their experience to the fullest and have a well-deserved break from the hustle and bustle of the season.”
There’s something for everyone from holiday classics to never before heard orchestral pieces. Sample selections include Silent Night, Jingle Bells, Away in a Manger to Lux Aeterna, the Hallelujah Chorus to Hanukah’s L’dor vador to Ella Fitzgerald’s version of Santa Claus is Coming to Town, an orchestral premiere of Henry Mancini’s It’s Christmas Again and so much more!
Tickets to Holiday Candlelight with the Pasadena Symphony are limited. Reservations start at $20 and may be purchased either at www.pasadenasymphony-pops.org or by calling the box office at 626.793.7172.
