You are warmly invited to join us for our Annual CSUSB Holiday Gala Concerts, taking place both Wednesday, December 3, and Thursday, December 4 at 7:00 p.m. in the Performing Arts Building Music Recital Hall, PA-102.
This year’s Holiday Gala theme is Sounds of the Season, and we hope you will enjoy feelings of warmth and nostalgia as we feature a spread of repertoire that includes classics such as the "Dance of the Reedflutes," “Chinese Dance,” “Arab Dance,” and “Trepak” from Pyotr Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite, an arrangement of the beloved Christmas Carol Away in the Manger, a fun arrangement of Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer, Leroy Anderson’s Sleigh Ride, the nostalgic “Somewhere in My Memory” from the Home Alone score by John Williams, several orchestral holiday medleys, selections from The Polar Express, and more!
Our performance is the beautiful culmination of several weeks of dedication, passion, and collaboration amongst our faculty, staff, and students, and we are delighted to be showcasing our CSUSB Piano & Flute Ensembles under the direction of Wen-Ting Huang, CSUSB Saxophone Ensemble under the direction of Edgar Melendez, and our CSUSB Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Lucy Lewis.
