Bozeman Symphony rings in the holiday season with its annual Holiday Spectacular during this final month of the year. Performances will be held December 12th–14th. 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, 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 the warm, expressive voice of tenor Terrence Chin-Loy, along with the Bozeman Symphonic Choir. Together they will present an unforgettable holiday experience that captures the warmth and wonder of the season.
American Chin-Loy, praised by Opera News for his “beautiful lyric tenor voice,” is recognized for his passionate artistry, expressive musicality and full, sweet sound. This past season, Chin-Loy made his European debut singing Gualtiero in Vivaldi’s Griselda with the Danish National Opera, return to the Lyric Opera of Chicago for Cop 1 in Blue, Ferrando in Così fan tutte with Virginia Opera, Don Ottavio in Don Giovanni with Opera Omaha and in concert, and Graf Albert in Die tote Stadt with Andris Nelsons and the Boston Symphony Orchestra.
“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 holiday program will feature a delightful mix of holiday favorites, including ‘A Christmas Festival,’ ‘I Saw Three Ships,’ ‘Sleigh Ride,’ and ‘Waltz of the Flowers’ from The Nutcracker. Chin-Loy will enchant with ‘Ave Maria,’ ‘Che gelida manina’ from La Boheme, and ‘Ev’ry Valley Shall be Exalted’ from Messiah. The Bozeman Symphonic Choir will captivate with ‘O, Holy Night,’ ‘Christmas Day,’ ‘We Need a Little Christmas,’ and the Hallelujah Chorus.
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. 12th–14th 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.
