From TOLEDO SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
The Toledo Symphony Orchestra celebrates this holiday season with a variety of
festive concerts and special events across Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan. From Christmas at the Peristyle and Handel’s Messiah to Toledo Ballet’s 78th Annual Nutcracker, these programs feature a collection of seasonal classics and traditional favorites for all ages.
The TSO has a long history of sharing symphonic music outside of its primary locations. Annually, the TSO reaches more than 11,000 individuals at neighborhood churches, schools, performing arts centers, and various community venues. These unique concerts expand the accessibility to arts programming and build lasting relationships with communities throughout the region.
“The musicians and production crew of the Toledo Symphony are preparing for the ‘most wonderful time of the year!’” says Rachel Zeithamel, Director of Education & Community Engagement for the Toledo Symphony. “We will perform twenty-five concerts in twenty five days at twenty-one different venues. It is a lot of work but it is well worth the effort. The TSO is able to help communities, families, and organizations celebrate this special time of year. Chances are high that we will be performing at location near you. I hope you will join us and make your own memories!”
