As we begin the holiday season, we want to thank all of our patrons for sharing so many great evenings with us this fall. Many of you have already bought tickets for one or more of our holiday shows, and we look forward to seeing you here. If you haven’t yet made plans with family and friends, check out the wide array of performances coming up in December. The very first weekend, we offer two of the biggest Christmas franchises in entertainment: New York’s Little Orchestra Society in “Babes in Toyland” and Christmas with the Boston Pops (both matinees, on December 5 and 6 respectively). Our own Long Island University ensembles perform December 8 (Wind Ensemble and Symphonic Band) and December 13 (Chorus and Chamber Singers). Our longtime resident company The Eglevsky Ballet presents their annual “Nutcracker” December 19 – 21, and the Long Island Philharmonic rounds out the holiday season with their New Year’s Eve spectacular, this year featuring the cast of “Forbidden Broadway.” From our house to yours, happy holidays! We are hard at work on planning next year’s programming, so let us know how you feel about our current offerings, and about new holiday traditions you’d like to see us bring to our stages.
