Sounds of the Season
Co-directed by Artistic Director Melissa Cardello-Linton and Lead Artist Kendra Janelle Ross, this year’s concert expands beyond standard holiday pop into an expansive, soulful tour through American musical traditions—moving seamlessly through swing, cool jazz, blues shuffles, gospel, Latin grooves, and New Orleans second-line.
Expect reimagined, jazzy festive sounds brought to life by Kendra alongside Craig Davis, Dominique Briggs Jackson, Brendan Williams, Hugo Cruz, and Omari Abdul-Alim.
✨ Make an evening of it:
• Sip & Settle In: Arrive early to grab a themed holiday cocktail from the bar before the music starts.
• Post-Show Mingle: Stick around after the final chord to meet the artists and snap photos by the tree.
• A True Pittsburgh Tradition: We’re celebrating in proper local fashion with a fully stocked holiday cookie table in the lobby!
We’re so thrilled and grateful to have WQED as our Community Partner for this special evening, helping us share artist interviews, exclusive social coverage, and an upcoming broadcast of the performance.
Gather your people and celebrate the season with us.
