JOHNS CREEK, GA — The Johns Creek Symphony Orchestra will continue its 2018-'19 season by celebrating the Most Wonderful Time of the Year on Sunday, Dec. 15, with Christmas Holiday Pops at the Johns Creek United Methodist Church, 11180 Medlock Bridge Road.

Doors will open at 6:45 p.m. for the littlest ticket holders to visit with Santa Claus until 7:30 p.m., when the concert begins. A complimentary reception will follow in the church’s Gathering Room.

This family-friendly concert, conducted by J. Wayne Baughman, the orchestra's music director, will include holiday favorites that will be enjoyed by both the young and young-at-heart. In the Boston Pops style, the performance will include a variety of seasonal, sacred and secular music, including “Joy to the World,” “Carol of the Bells,” “Festival Gloria,” “White Christmas,” “Sleigh Ride” and much more.
