Celebrations in Songs and Music 2024-2025
Join us for this musical celebration of the holidays, a concert during which you will be invited to sing along with the OSM Chorus—a soul-stirring experience!
The holidays are a special time for sharing and peace. Join us for this musical celebration in a soul-stirring concert where you will be invited to sing along with the OSM! Winter gives way to the sweetness of spring with Rimsky-Korsakov’s The Snow Maiden, then transports us to the Eternal City in Respighi’s spectacular Pines of Rome.
