Music Director Cynthia Woods leads the CSO in a live stream event featuring:

  • Dancers from City Ballet of Boston—with choreography from their resident choreographer, Gianni Gino Di Marco—for a special, mini version of Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker

  • The UMass Lowell choir department (Jonathan Richter, director) for a performance of “Children Will Listen” from Into the Woods

  • A visit from Santa

  • A celebration of Hanukkah

  • …and more!

Our Spotlight Partner is the Boston String Academy, which provides rigorous string instrument instruction to children in under-served communities and is based on the Venezuelan El Sistema philosophy that utilizes music as a vehicle for social change.

We are grateful to the City of Cambridge for its generous patronage of this project, and to the Massachusetts Cultural Council for its continued support.

Please see the credits at the end of the video for a full list of our key partners and contributors to this special event.
