## About

The Virginia Symphony Orchestra's holiday family concert for young children: an afternoon of seasonal music in which Santa Claus comes 'down the chimney' to join the orchestra on stage. This year the Jingle Bell Jam is performed in both Newport News and Virginia Beach, and this listing is the Virginia Beach performance at the Sandler Center. It suits preschoolers and early elementary children who are getting to know live orchestral music. Tickets are sold through the Sandler Center box office and Ticketmaster.
