This year, JMR is pulling out all the holiday favorites from his Christmas bag. Mr. Christmas will bring together a magical program featuring the Buffalo Philharmonic Chorus to put you in the holiday spirit. Buffalo theater legend Vincent O’Neill narrates a thrilling version of “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas.” Vocal powerhouse Adia Dobbins will bring the house down with gospel-infused holiday favorites. Doors open at 8:30 for complimentary coffee and doughnuts. The Phil Sims Quartet will give a pre-concert performance in the Main Hall beginning at 9:15.
