About this adventure

The Florida Orchestra brings its annual Holiday Pops concert to Ferguson Hall at the Straz Center in downtown Tampa for two evenings in December, with Chelsea Gallo conducting. The program is built around the familiar sounds of the season, the carols and holiday favorites that many local families treat as the start of Christmas, played by a full professional orchestra. A second night was added this year because of demand, so Thursday and Friday performances are both on sale. It is a good first orchestra concert for school-age children who know the songs, and the evening start suits families who can manage a full-length concert. Tickets are sold through the Straz Center box office and website; the event page does not list prices or age guidance, so check seating options when booking. The same concert series also plays other Tampa Bay venues, but this record covers only the Straz Center dates.
