Featuring over 150 vocalists from the acclaimed Indianapolis Symphonic Choir, the Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra, and talented spotlight guest soloists, this joyous performance brings the acoustics of the world-class concert hall to life. The program showcases a rich tapestry of holiday favorites, including Handel's Messiah choruses, beloved carols like Silent Night and O Holy Night, playful festive Broadway standards, and a grand choral sing-along with the audience. Children and families are thrilled by a special visit from Santa Claus during the performance.
