The Vancouver Symphony Orchestra returns to Burnaby for its annual Traditional Christmas concert.
WHEN AND WHERE:
Sunday, Dec. 17 at Michael J. Fox Theatre, 7373 MacPherson Ave., with concerts at 4 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.
WHAT’S ON THE PROGRAM?
Christopher Gaze (of Bard on the Beach fame) is the host for the annual holiday extravaganza, conducted by William Rowson.
It’s the 25th anniversary for the concert, which has become a holiday favourite as it tours the Lower Mainland (this year’s tour starts Dec. 8 at St. Andrew’s Wesley Church in Vancouver, and hits several locations before winding up in Burnaby).
The Vancouver Symphony Orchestra is joined by EnChor, directed by Gerald van Wyck, and the UBC Opera Ensemble, under the direction of Nancy Hermiston.
Concertgoers can always expect a roster of seasonal classical favourites and a chance to sing along with some Christmas carols.

Tickets are $37 for children and seniors, or $43 regular. This popular concert is sure to be a sell-out, so buy your tickets early. See www.vancouversymphony.ca for the ticket links.
