Bring in the sounds of the season with the Wind Symphony’s Christmas concert, “Christmas Through the Ages,” on Saturday, December 2 at 8:00 p.m. at the Howard Performing Arts Center. The program will feature familiar holiday tunes that will have you tapping your toes and singing along! Selections include a lively version of "Carol of the Bells" by Sean O’Loughlin, a fun arrangement of a famous John Philip Sousa march, "Christmas and Sousa Forever" by Julie Giroux, the ever popular "Sleigh Ride" by Leroy Anderson, as well as a few other surprises. We look forward to having you join us as we begin to celebrate the Christmas season.
