The New Hampshire Philharmonic Orchestra invites the public to its annual Holiday Pops Concert, celebrating the season with a mix of festive music and community spirit. The concert will feature a diverse lineup, including Ron Goldstein’s “Hanukkah Medley,” Tchaikovsky’s “Valses des Fleurs” (Waltz of the Flowers), and Jerry Brubaker’s arrangement of The Polar Express, creating a joyful musical experience for all ages.
Each piece in this year’s program brings unique appeal. Goldstein’s medley captures the essence of Hanukkah, Tchaikovsky’s classic waltz enchants with its lush melodies, and The Polar Express resonates with the magic of the holidays. This combination of festive favorites promises to create a vibrant tapestry of holiday sounds, capturing the spirit of the season.
A special highlight of the concert is the Christmas carol sing-along, inviting audience members to join in with holiday favorites, enhancing the warm, celebratory atmosphere. The concert is designed to be family-friendly, welcoming attendees of all ages, from young children to grandparents, for an afternoon or evening of joy and music.
