| Maestro A. Scott Wood takes us on a sleigh ride around the world to hear favorite holiday music from around the world. The sleigh ride makes stops to experience beloved melodies from Austria, Russia, and the USA; dances from The Nutcracker; excerpts from Handel’s Messiah and much more. Both concerts are at the Oakcrest School in McLean, VA. As always we offer free parking and a traditional post-concert cake and champagne reception for our audience to meet and mingle with our musicians, conductors and each other. |
