    Celebrate the most wonderful time of the year!  The Boston Pops’ Holiday Pops concert is a festive feast for the eyes, ears and soul.  This time-honored production, led by conductor Keith Lockhart, is filled with Yuletide cheer, bolstered by upbeat arrangements of classic carols and popular Christmas songs, a joyful sing-along and a visit from the one and only St. Nick himself!

    These amazing concerts take place in the magical atmosphere of the world-famous Symphony Hall, beautifully decorated for the holidays to evoke all the magic and charm of the season.  Symphony Hall opened in 1900 and is, acoustically, one of the top three concert halls in the world.

    Meet the Nowaks of Buffalo, NY.  Clara and her three grown kids have always known they were special… ever since the miraculous Christmas Eve in 1942 when the Blessed Mother appeared to Grandpa in his barbershop!  However, the entire family’s faith is shaken to the very core when a confession causes the family legend to be questioned.  The results are heartfelt and hilarious.
