A KURT BESTOR CHRISTMAS Comes to Salt Lake City's Eccles Theater in December

Emmy-award-winning and Grammy-nominated composer and performer, Kurt Bestor, will perform A Kurt Bestor Christmas 2019 concerts Dec. 12-14, 2019. This year Bestor celebrates his 32nd year of performing his annual holiday concerts, and he invites his audience to discover, relive, and share the magic of A Kurt Bestor Christmas.

"Some people have never seen A Kurt Bestor Christmas show, so we invite them to come this year and DISCOVER it," said Bestor. "Many people grew up seeing the show, though perhaps it's been years, so for them the message is to RELIVE it. Lastly, many people now have kids and grandkids that they bring to the show with them to SHARE the magic."

In addition to Bestor's popular holiday hits played by his all-star band and world-class orchestra, he will be arranging new music for some very special guests who will be announced at a later date.
