South Shore Conservatory’s Concert Series Presents Holiday Favorites

South Shore Conservatory’s renowned Conservatory Concert Series (CCS) presents Holiday Favorites on Sunday, December 11, 4 pm at Derby Academy, 56 Burditt Street in Hingham. The concert is free and open to the public.

“Our holiday concert draws such a huge crowd that is was necessary to seek a larger performance venue,” explains Director of Performance Beth MacLeod Largent. “We are very grateful to our friends at Derby Academy who eagerly offered their space for this audience favorite.”

CCS concerts showcase the multiple talents of the Conservatory’s faculty of almost 100 educator/performers. Holiday Favorites is the third of five programs in the CCS 2016/17 season. In an effort to expand access to arts education and performance, SSC does not charge admission to these concerts.

Holiday Favorites features both classical and musical theater holiday favorites. From lush arrangements of traditional carols such as O Holy Night, to sweet tunes from beloved musicals, to duets from The Messiah, this concert is sure to put everyone in the holiday spirit.

Featuring Concert coordinator Sarah Troxler, piano, Holly Marshall, soprano, Beth MacLeod Largent, mezzo-soprano, Donald Zook, flute and Cassie Sulbarán, viola. This concert culminates with a sing along where everyone is invited to join in!
