The Atlantic Symphony Orchestra brings its annual holiday celebration, Joyful Noise!, to Thayer's Center for the Arts in Braintree on Saturday afternoon, December 12. This year's program features The Nutcracker Suite along with fun seasonal favorites and a joyous sing-along, and the orchestra hints that a visitor in a red suit will drop by for the families who have been very good this year. The orchestra pitches it as an annual tradition for the whole family, with free parking at the venue and concessions on site, and it encourages buying tickets early. Seats are priced for adults, seniors and students, with student tickets starting at $5, and Card To Culture tickets are listed at $0; a processing fee is added to each ticket. Tickets can be bought online or by phone from the orchestra's office.
