Pasadena Symphony & POPS

Holiday POPS

From London’s Saint-Martin-in-the-Fields to Notre Dame in Paris, Europeans have long cherished the tradition of hearing fine classical music in a beautiful cathedral setting. Join the Pasadena Symphony on December 3^rd as we ring in the holidays with an elegant Old-European style in a concert of holiday music amidst the architecturally exquisite and acoustically sonorous setting of All Saints Church across from Pasadena City Hall. Soprano Lisa Vroman joins an array of choruses in this festive concert of traditional holiday melodies performed by candlelight—an aural respite that is sure to summon the spirit of the season!
