Bask in the holiday mood with David Ott's sparkling setting of "'Twas the Night Before Christmas" and Jeff Tyzik's delightfully inventive "The Twelve Gifts of Christmas," plus Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn's ingenious and jazzy reinvention of Tchaikovsky's "Nutcracker Suite." Acclaimed Chicago-area singers join the DSO to perform an array of Christmas songs from around the world and through the ages and to lead the audience in a festive "Christmas Sing-a-Long." Be on the lookout for a special holiday visitor as well!
