Poinsettia Pops
With the Greeley Chorale and Greeley Children’s Chorale
At Greeley’s favorite holiday tradition, your Greeley Philharmonic Orchestra, Greeley Chorale, and Greeley Children's Chorale again take the stage in the poinsettia-adorned Monfort Concert Hall! Start the evening with the Magic Baton Melody Contest celebrating our winning Greeley-Evans School District 6 middle school student composer. Then, get in the holiday spirit with familiar tunes including “Deck the Halls,” “Silent Night,” “Jingle Bells,” and “Sleigh Ride.” This concert also features selections from Respighi’s La Boutique Fantastique Suite, a ballet about a magical toyshop. Sure to have you singing all the way home, the concert “wraps” up with the orchestra and choir performing “Angels We Have Heard on High,” arranged by Mack Wilberg. Join us for the final night of the Festival of Trees!
This concert is sponsored by Robert and Diane Miller.
