We’re dreaming of a white-sand Christmas.
Presented by MOO
This holiday season we’re headed to the Caribbean for everyone’s favorite concert, Holiday Cheer! Steel drum band Pan Nation, along with the Colorado Chorale, join our beach party to bring the rhythm of the islands to the Antonia Brico Stage. December 21 & 22, soak up the season with timeless classics like the “Hallelujah Chorus” or the beloved-film score from It’s a Wonderful Life. Music Director Lawrence Golan conducts.
