Savannah Philharmonic Orchestra And Chorus Unveil Plans For Holiday Pops Tradition: December 7 – 8, 2018

This year Coastal Empire music lovers will have three chances to enjoy the Savannah Philharmonic Orchestra and Chorus’s beloved annual Holiday Pops concert. In response to popular demand and following the successful expansion of the program last year, two full shows are slated for 7:30 p.m. Friday Dec. 7 and Saturday, Dec. 8, as well as a Family Matinee on Saturday, Dec. 8 at 3:00 p.m. These high-energy, funfilled performances, held at the Johnny Mercer Theatre, provide Savannah residents and visitors alike with the perfect opportunity to enjoy the sounds of the season.

The concerts will feature old and new musical favorites for everyone, including traditional tunes, sing-along melodies and holiday classics. The stunning, American Traditions Vocal Competition’s 2018 Gold Medalist, Erica Gabriel, will perform as a guest soloist with the chorus during all three shows. At the 3 p.m. Family Matinee on Saturday, the Savannah Children’s Choir will also make a guest appearance. This one-hour show is perfect for families with young children and other patrons who appreciate the convenience of an abbreviated performance.

Savannah Philharmonic Conductor and Artistic Director, Peter Shannon, is looking forward to celebrating the season with this annual, holiday event.

“We are delighted as always to bring the full orchestra and chorus together for all of your Christmas favorites. The evening Holiday concerts always have an added extra because we have the American Traditions competition Gold medal winner as our featured soloist.
