CANTON, OHIO (November 18, 2014) - The Canton Symphony Orchestra's Annual Holiday Pops Concert returns Sunday December 7 at 3pm. Feel the excitement as a combined chorus of over 150 voices joins Assistant Conductor Rachel Waddell and the Canton Symphony Orchestra for a festive holiday performance on stage at Umstattd Performing Arts Hall, 2323 17th Street NW. This cherished tradition, sponsored by CSE Federal Credit Union, the Repository and Motter and Meadows Architects, is for all ages and promises to fill you with the spirit of the season.

Choruses from Alliance and Perry High Schools along with the Canton Symphony Chorus will join the orchestra to perform holiday favorites including Rutter's "Star Carol", a selection from Menotti's beloved "Amahl and the Night Visitors" and Handel's beautiful "Hallelujah Chorus" from Messiah. The orchestra will dazzle with performances of pieces such as "Polar Express", "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" and "Sleigh Ride". Members of the Canton Youth Symphony will join the festivities in a side-by-side performance with the orchestra on several pieces. The tradition would not be complete without the popular audience sing-along with the choirs and orchestra on a holiday medley.

The orchestra's Education Department is also sponsoring family activities in Foundation Hall of the Zimmermann Symphony Center before the concert beginning at 1:30pm. Holiday themed crafts, stories, music and a special visitor will be available to ticket holders at no charge.
