The Las Vegas Philharmonic presents its annual holiday program conducted by Music Director Donato Cabrera with three performances on Saturday, December 5, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, December 6, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. in Reynolds Hall at The Smith Center. This year's holiday theme is The Snowman, and will feature a selection of holiday classics, the children's film, The Snowman, based on the popular children's book created and illustrated by Raymond Briggs, featuring boy soprano Noah Pastor from Cashman Middle School, and an audience sing-along. The orchestra will be accompanied by the Las Vegas Master Singers, led by University of Nevada, Las Vegas Choral Director, David Weiller. We encourage patrons to arrive early to meet with Santa in the lobby!

The performances will include two excerpts from Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker, Russian Dance and Waltz of the Snowflakes. The first half of the program will feature a series of choral selections performed by the Las Vegas Master Singers including the Many Moods of Christmas, O Magnum Mysterium, Songs of Freedom: A Celebration of Chanukah, Wassail Song, and Do You Hear What I Hear? The Las Vegas Philharmonic and the Las Vegas Master Singers have collaborated on performances throughout the orchestra's 16 seasons and just recently the orchestra announced the Las Vegas Master Singers as the official Chorus-In-Residence of the Las Vegas Philharmonic.

After a brief intermission, the program will feature the film, The Snowman, based on the beloved children's book by Raymond Briggs. This short film is accompanied by the orchestra performing the beautiful score and eighth-grade boy soprano, Noah Pastor from Cashman Middle School. A member of the National Junior Honor Society, Pastor has been singing in choirs for five years, including the Clark County School District Middle School Honor Choir. The Las Vegas Philharmonic will conclude the concert with Sleigh Ride and its traditional audience sing-along including Santa Claus Is Coming To Town, Jingle Bells, and Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer.
