FESTIVE FAVORITES FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY

Capture the spirit of the season with cheerful songs and time-honored classics, featuring a visit from Santa Claus and other special guests. The Washington Post has raved about this festive time when the "Concert Hall is festooned with seasonal decorations and young children are watching the proceedings raptly.
