The Evanston Symphony will continue its beloved tradition of collaborating with arts groups from throughout Evanston and the North Shore to celebrate the holiday season. This year’s Holiday Concert returns to Evanston Township High School at 3 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 10 and features the Symphony in collaboration with the North Shore Choral Society, the Evanston Dance Ensemble, the Evanston Children’s Choir, plus the very popular Evanston Symphony Holiday Gospel Choir, organized by Rev. Kenneth Cherry.

With 350 musicians, dancers and singers participating and more than 1,000 in the audience, this is the biggest indoor arts event of the year in Evanston. Even Santa will get into the act, leading the audience in a sing-along of favorite Christmas carols.

“The annual Evanston Holiday Concert is one of the most enjoyable and thoroughly inclusive arts events of the year, bringing together hundreds of local instrumentalists, singers and dancers to put on a wonderful show to entertain people of all ages,” said Evanston Mayor Steve Hagerty.
