Holly Jolly - December 21, 2025

Join the Lake Forest Civic Orchestra and the Evanston Children’s Choir for a family concert of holiday favorites! This year, two performances are offered. The 1:30pm performance is a bit shorter to cater to younger children. The 4pm performance is a full-length concert that includes the Nutcracker Suite, which will not be performed in the earlier show. Both programs include popular holiday arrangements and a holiday sing-along. Holiday favorites including Sleigh Ride, Somewhere in My Memory, and many more will make for an afternoon of fun to put you in the spirit of the season!
