Tidewater Winds “Yuletide Celebration”

The warmth and wonder of the holiday season come alive in this festive performance. From brilliant fanfares to cherished carols, audiences will be treated to a joyful mix of music that celebrates the traditions of Christmas and Hanukkah alike. The evening opens with Jim Beckel's A Christmas Fanfare, a sparkling and majestic introduction to the season. Sean O'Loughlin's Holiday Portraits paints vivid scenes of joy, reflection, and holiday cheer through lush orchestrations. The celebration continues with Rhapsody for Hanukkah, a spirited and heartfelt tribute to the Festival of Lights, followed by Boléro de Noël, a clever holiday twist on Ravel's famous rhythm. No holiday concert would be complete without familiar favorites. Carol of the Bells, in the soaring style of David Foster, brings brilliance and energy to the stage, while Larry Clark's arrangement of I Wander As I Wonder offers a moment of quiet beauty and reflection. Join us for an evening of festive sounds as the concert band presents Yuletide Celebration.
