L.A. Philharmonic's 2017 DECK THE HALL CONCERTS Celebrate The Spirit Of The Holiday Season

The LA Phil's Deck the Hall concerts feature performances by an eclectic array of artists who bring the joy of the holiday season to people of all ages during this special time of year. Returning to Walt Disney Concert Hall this holiday season: the family-friendly fun of the annual Holiday Sing-Along (Dec. 16), the rich harmonies of Chanticleer (Dec. 19), exquisite jazz vocalist Dianne Reeves (Dec. 20), and the heartwarming White Christmas Sing-Along (Dec. 23).

Making their venue debut is a cappella sensation Naturally 7 (Dec. 22).
Deck the Hall culminates with a convivial New Year's Eve celebration featuring Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox and the collective's unique retro renditions of chart-topping pop songs.

Concertgoers who arrive early are invited to visit "Winter Wonderland" in BP Hall featuring free hot chocolate, coffee, and photos with Santa (Dec. 19), complimentary holiday treats and cocktails (Dec. 23), and 10-cent drinks at the retro speakeasy (Dec. 31). In addition to the holiday sights and sounds, the LA Phil Store - opened as part of the Walt Disney Concert Hall in 2003 - has become a popular destination to find unique and cherished gifts related to music, architecture and design. The LA Phil Store is open 10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. daily, as well as before, during and after evening concerts. Give the gift of music by purchasing an LA Phil gift card which can be used for concert tickets, LA Phil merchandise, dining, and more, at both Walt Disney Concert Hall and the Hollywood Bowl.
