Christmas Concerts Galore
Whether it’s carols, hymns, or the just simple sounds of holiday joy, there are plenty of opportunities to get into the spirit of the season via live music and performances.
The month starts off strong with performances by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra at the Sleep Train Arena Wednesday, December 2. Also December 2, the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra takes the stage at the UC Davis Mondavi Center. Later that week at the Mondavi Center is the “utterly cosmopolitan yet utterly unpretentious” Pink Martini with a holiday-themed performance, December 5.

The concert features more than 150 children and takes place at the Westminster Presbyterian Church.
