2018 Holiday concert press Release

Central Ohio Symphony’s Annual Holiday Concerts Set For December 9
 
The Central Ohio Symphony will present its annual holiday concerts on Sunday, December 9, at 2:00 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. in the festively decorated Gray Chapel on the campus of Ohio Wesleyan. The orchestra under the direction of Music Director Jaime Morales-Matos will perform two identical concerts of seasonal music.
 
“Our concert is a long-established holiday tradition in Delaware,” said Symphony Executive Director Warren W. Hyer. “This year we are once again adding new elements. Our aim is to put everyone in the holiday spirit.”
 
Vocalist Kristen Basore, a Powell native, will be the featured performer. Basore has previously sung with the orchestra at the last two Benefit in the Barn concerts as well as hosted the Symphony’s Link Up educational concerts. This will be her first appearance at a subscription concert.
 
“Kristen has a great voice and an engaging stage presence,” said Hyer. “We always enjoy working with her.”
 
One of the pieces Basore will sing is the world premiere of “Welcome Home,” by Westerville composer Ken McCaw. “This is the fourth time we have premiered one of Ken’s works,” Hyer commented. “This piece is about people coming home for the holidays and tells a heartwarming story.” Basore will be joined in that work by dancers from Buckeye Gymnastics directed by Kim McCaw, also of Westerville and married to the composer.
 
As part of the Symphony’s 40th anniversary, a fanfare will be performed at each concert, and for the Holiday concerts, it has been composed by Juvenile and Probate Judge David Hejmanowski!

Additional works include Leroy Anderson’s “Sleigh Ride,” “Feliz Navidad,” excerpts from Tchaikovsky’s “Nutcracker,” The Boston Pops “Christmas Festival” and other holiday works. As is the custom of Conductor Morales-Matos, the concert will end with "Radetzky March by Johann Strauss.
 
Tickets for the concert are available at the Symphony Source office at 24 E. Winter Street in downtown Delaware. Prices are $25.00, adults; $20.00, seniors; $6.00, students of any age; and $4.00, children, six and under.
