The Richardson Symphony Orchestra, under the baton of Maestro Clay Couturiaux, invites you to a holiday concert filled with festive cheer and jazz-infused magic. This year’s Holiday Classics Concert promises to be an unforgettable evening, blending beloved seasonal traditions with the dynamic energy of jazz.  

The evening includes timeless classics that capture the spirit of the season. Let the orchestra transport you to a wintry wonderland with the sparkling melodies of Sleigh Ride and excerpts from Tchaikovsky’s enchanting Nutcracker Suite. These symphonic masterpieces will set the tone for a night of joy, nostalgia, and musical excellence. 

Stockton Helbing’s Jazz Initiative will reimagine holiday favorites with their signature style and add a fresh dimension to the concert. From the tender, soulful strains of Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas to the funky beats of The [Funky] Little Drummer Boy, the collaboration between symphony and jazz will breathe new life into cherished songs. Swing along to a jazzy rendition of Jingle Bells and bask in the New Orleans warmth of All I Want for Christmas is You.
