Bozeman Symphony rings in the holiday season with its annual Holiday Spectacular during this final month of the year. Performances will be held December 13th–15th. The opening show will be held on Friday at 7:30pm, followed by two presentations on Saturday at 2:30pm and 7:30pm, as well as a closing matinee on Sunday at 2:30pm. All will be held at the Willson Auditorium in Downtown Bozeman.
The annual tradition promises a festive celebration filled with timeless classics, jazzy holiday favorites and a joyful sing-along, guaranteed to delight audiences of all ages.
Under the direction of Maestro Norman Huynh, the Symphony will be joined by guest vocalist Paige Rasmussen, an acclaimed musician and Bozeman native, along with the Bozeman Symphonic Choir. Together they will present an unforgettable holiday experience that captures the warmth and wonder of the season.
Rasmussen, a multi-talented musician, songwriter, producer and filmmaker, has performed across the United States in major musical hubs like Los Angeles, San Francisco, Las Vegas and Nashville. The lead singer and manager of Paige & the People’s Band, she’s shared the stage with renowned artists such as Mike McCready, Brandi Carlile, Taylor Hawkins, Pat Benatar and The Doobie Brothers, among others. Her unique vocal style – described as a blend of Aretha Franklin and Bruce Springsteen – adds a soulful touch to the concert’s festivities.
“There’s no finer way to get into the holiday spirit than gathering together to experience the joy of live symphonic music,” said Huynh. “Our Holiday Spectacular promises to bring you everything you love about the season – music, memories, and a sense of community.”
The program will feature a delightful mix of holiday favorites, including “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,” “Selections from the Nutcracker Suite,” “Chanukah Suite,” “The Polar Express Suite” and “Auld Lang Syne.” Rasmussen will enchant with “Mary Did You Know,” “Carol of the Bells,” “Joy to the World” and “Sleigh Ride.” The Bozeman Symphonic Choir will captivate with “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel” and the whimsical “Twelve Days After Christmas.”
To meet the popular demand for this annual tradition, the Bozeman Symphony will offer four Holiday Spectacular performances to experience the joy of the season. Performances will be held Dec. 13th–15th at the Willson Auditorium in Downtown Bozeman. Individual tickets are available for purchase online at www.bozemansymphony.org or by phone at (406) 585-9774.
