Celebrate the joy of the season with the Yakima Symphony Orchestra! Music Director and conductor Lawrence Golan will lead the Symphony in our annual holiday concert. The program will weave together timeless classics and spirited favorites from It’s a Wonderful Life to The Nutcracker and Handel’s Messiah, featuring the Yakima School of Ballet and the Yakima Symphony Chorus. With sleigh bells ringing and voices soaring, join us for a musical celebration that captures the wonder and warmth of the holidays!
There will be a Post-Concert Reception to wrap up the year in the Robertson Room at the Capitol Theatre, immediately following the performance. All are welcome to join the Music Director and artists in the space. Light refreshments and hot cocoa provided, cash bar available.
