Harp, sleigh rides, and Christmas — Rita Costanzi joins the West Coast Symphony and the Bach Choir for one unforgettable holiday night.
About this Event

The evening opens with the sparkling brilliance of Laura Nobili’s Overture, setting the stage for Handel’s elegant Harp Concerto in B-flat, Op. 4 No. 6, brought to life by acclaimed harpist * with grace and poise. She returns for Samuel Rousseau’s Pastoral Variations, a lyrical and evocative gem that showcases her exquisite artistry. Vaughan Williams’ English Folk Song Suite (final movement) bursts with rustic charm, while Prokofiev’s Troika whisks us into a brisk Russian sleigh ride. Strauss’s lively Tritsch-Tratsch-Polka follows, adding spirited Viennese flair before the Vancouver Bach Choir joins for The Polar Express, capturing the wonder and magic of the season. The celebration concludes with Leroy Anderson’s beloved A Christmas Festival and a joyful selection of carols, bringing the evening to a radiant, heartwarming close.

Financially, the orchestra relies on the generosity of audience members to offset concert and overhead costs, which average $35 per person per concert. The suggested donation of $30 per person can be contributed through Eventbrite on the next page.
