Holiday Pops Concert

Naples Community Orchestra rings in the season with Holiday Pops, its annual holiday celebration and biggest fundraiser of the year. Guest conductor David Bernard — founder of New York's Park Avenue Chamber Symphony — leads the orchestra through Hayman's Carol of the Bells, selections from Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker, Bach's Double Violin Concerto, Wernick's Hanukkah Festival Overture, and Anderson's Sleigh Ride, with a Holiday Carols Sing-Along for the whole room. Soprano Heather Ivy joins for a set of holiday favorites, and the Music Foundation of Greater Naples Student Chamber Orchestra performs alongside NCO under director Cathy Pflieger — a partnership now in its 23rd year. Saturday, December 12, 2026, at 3:00 PM at Moorings Presbyterian Church, 791 Harbour Drive, Naples. Tickets are $50; Gold, Silver, and Bronze 2027 Season Pass holders attend free. A reception follows the concert.
