A star-studded lineup of award-winning vocalists -- Jennifer Holliday, Peabo Bryson, Lea Salonga and Ben Vereen -- join the San Francisco Symphony and conductor Herman Jackson for a joyous and song-filled Yuletide concert. The First A.M.E. Oakland Mass Choir will also be on hand for this soul-stirring holiday show, which features both Christmas favorites and popular hit songs from each performer. Stage and screen veteran Ben Vereen is a legendary actor and song-and-dance man who first gained fame on Broadway in Sweet Charity, and went on to win Tonys for Jesus Christ Superstar and Pippin. Filipino songstress Lea Salonga also won a Tony for her role in Miss Saigon and released a Christmas album in 2001. Two-time Grammy winner Peabo Bryson is known for his Disney duets, including "Beauty and the Beast" and "A Whole New World," along with the solo smash "If Ever You're in My Arms Again." And Jennifer Holliday made a splash with her powerful voice and acting skill in Dreamgirls, for which she won a Tony. She's since had multiple pop hits, and recently released a gospel album, God Is Faithful.

David Robertson Conducts Dvořák at Davies Symphony Hall

Full Price:
$44.00 - $85.00
Our Price:
$22.00 - $42.50

Conductor David Robertson, of the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra and BBC Symphony Orchestra leads the San Francisco Symphony in a program of great contrasts. The evening begins with a bang, as Rossini's Overture to L'Italiana in Algeri starts things off. This widely recorded and performed piece opens slowly, leading up to a joyous burst of music. Chopin's Piano Concerto No. 2 follows, showing off the bold and colorful style of the composer's youthful pieces. Dvořák's Symphony No. 7 closes out the evening. This complex piece combines intense calm and peacefulness with moments of intense turmoil and is one of the works that best embodies the spirit of its composer. Learn More

was ok... each performer sang about 4 songs each and some duets. wasn't all christmas songs. somehow, wasn't successful in putting me in a holiday mood. something was missing... (i participated with the singing, etc, along with the crowd). maybe the choice of songs was what's amiss.

This is the first time I attended Colors of Christmas with the San Francisco Symphony. Very nice with new addition Lea Salonga (Miss Saigon, Les Miserables, Mulan) to the other excellent singers- Jennifer Holliday, Peabo Bryson, and Ben Vereen. It this quartet came back next year, I am definitely going! Highly recommended for some holiday fun.
