Evening of Elegance: A Motown Christmas
"When Soul Told the Story"

📅 Saturday, December 5, 2026
📍 The Anderson Center for the Arts
🚪 Doors Open 6:30 PM · Show 7:00 PM

A 90-minute narrative-driven musical revue celebrating Motown as a cultural movement and Christmas as a story of hope, joy, and remembrance. Live musicians, dancers, vocalists, and actors weave Motown classics, gospel, jazz, and R&B holiday favorites into one seamless night — telling the story of a sound that didn't just define a generation. It carried a people.

This is not a concert. This is a production.

🎞️ Red carpet arrivals + step-and-repeat photography
🎶 Live music from the door
