Jazz the Halls

Holiday music, but with a groove. Jazz the Halls takes the familiar sounds of the season and gives them a fresh, swinging edge, led by your Space Coast Symphony Jazz Orchestra under the direction of Andrew Cleaver. At the center is Duke Ellington’s legendary reimagining of The Nutcracker, a bold and brilliant transformation that turns Tchaikovsky’s classic into something entirely new — playful, stylish, and unmistakably jazz. Around it, holiday favorites like Winter Wonderland, White Christmas, and The Christmas Song shine with new color, while classics like Satin Doll and Take the “A” Train bring that unmistakable big band energy. This isn’t background music — it’s alive, vibrant, and full of personality. It feels less like a concert and more like the best holiday party you’ve been to in years.
