So join us on November 30, 2023, in the Heritage Center Theater at 7:30 pm, for a wonderful display of holiday music, spirit, and magic.
Throughout the program, audiences will have the opportunity to indulge in the “oldies” of Christmastime, with songs like Irving Berlin’s White Christmas, featuring Jordan Sanders as a soloist, and Leroy Anderson’s Sleigh Ride. In addition to these classic tunes, audiences will have the opportunity to enjoy the true classics, such as excerpts from Pyotor Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker with special guest dancers.

The candy cane dancers are Kaylee Atkinson, Rachel Bergeron, Delainey Boudreau, Taylee Harrison, Addalei Henderson, Brooklee Henderson, Quinn Houston, Cora Melling, Sadie Overson, Lila Street, Riyona Vinson, Alia Walker, and Emmy Young.
For fans of the brass section, a Brass Quintet of OSU musicians will perform My Spirit be Joyful. If you want to begin your holiday season with the beauty of music, come and enjoy this and much more at the Orchestra of Southern Utah’s Holiday Magic concert
The concert also includes spiritual classics, like O Come, O Come Emmanuel, arranged by Steve Dunn as well as the popular medley of carols in Christmas Festival. In particular, conductor Carylee Zwang is excited to perform Greensleeves, likely the oldest tune in the program of the evening. “It’s hauntingly beautiful, and I hope it will pull people into its musical tale.” said Zwang, when asked about which piece or song she is most excited to conduct. This particular arrangement, by Matt Riley, will surely be a highlight of the evening!
SideNote, a new Women’s A Cappella Quartet, will provide lobby music before the concert.
