A beloved Worcester tradition, this concert (sold out for the past 35 years!) highlights the Massachusetts Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Myron Romanul, performing classic symphonic works, selections from Broadway musicals, and favorite music of the holiday season. Performers include area choruses (Anna Maria College, Assumption College, Clark University, Worcester State University, and WPI), vocal soloists Jane Shivick and Richard Monroe, an aerialist, and dancers, plus a visit by Santa Claus. (Broadcast date on WCUW, 91.3 FM: Monday, December 5, 2016, 9 P.M.)
