Glory All Around

Tradition, memory and the joy of coming together.

There are melodies we wait all year to hear.

Our holiday celebration brings together the warmth of tradition and the sheer fun of the season—from the exuberance of Sleigh Ride and Feliz Navidad to O Holy Night, Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas and a few swinging surprises along the way.

At the heart of the program is Deborah Drattell’s Hanukkah Oratorio, bringing another rich musical tradition into our celebration. Through ancient words and vibrant orchestral colors, Drattell tells a story of resilience, faith and light—a reminder that the holidays we celebrate today carry generations of memory within them.

That is the magic of this music: we know these melodies, but every December we return to them changed. Familiar tunes, fresh arrangements, an orchestra in full festive flight—and, of course, a chance for everyone to join in.

Come celebrate with us.
