Brighten your Christmas season with an afternoon or evening of music with ProMusica Arizona. This year’s holiday concert, "Comfort and Joy," will feature Bach’s "Magnificat," a baroque masterpiece for chorale with orchestral accompaniment, and musical selections from Tchaikovsky’s "Nutcracker Suite" musical selections. And of course what would a Christmas concert be without perennial favorites such as "Silent Night" and "O Come All Ye Faithful" plus "Winter Wonderland," "Let it Snow" and Leroy Anderson’s "Sleigh Ride."

A multimedia presentation completes the experience. Join the family concert with holiday pieces to inspire the hope and joy of the holiday season.
