Light is a symbol and source of inspiration for holiday celebrations around the world. It brings people together and transforms our surroundings, while representing goodness, wisdom and the passage of time.
Join the New West Symphony, Los Robles Children’s Choir and vocal soloists in a winter-inspired concert filled with musical light! Oscar-nominated for Best Animated Short Film, The Snowman, based on Raymond Briggs’ picture book with music by Howard Blake, is featured alongside symphonic masterworks and your favorite holiday carols.
