Warminster Symphony Orchestra stages “Holiday Potpourri”

Warminster Symphony Orchestra’s Dec. 3, concert at William Tennent Auditorium, 333 Centennial Road, Warminster, offers an entertaining experience for all ages to welcome the holidays.

The 8 p.m. program offers both classical and traditional holiday favorites, including music by Bach and Vaughan Williams, as well as music from the Charlie Brown Christmas specials, Chanukah songs, and familiar contemporary holiday hits.

The “Holiday Potpourri” concert also features Young Artist Competition Youth Division Winner Alyssa Gabrilovich, who will perform the first movement from Chopin’s “Piano Concerto No. 1,” and a special guest appearance by the William Tennent High School Madrigal Singers, singing songs of the season.

According to Joseph Lovecchio, music director and conductor of the Warminster Symphony Orchestra, “Our holiday concert has quickly become a favorite tradition for families and friends to get this joyous season off to a wonderful start. The music will appeal to all ages and musical tastes. Even Santa Claus is a huge fan of this concert, and will likely make a guest appearance.”
