Experience the Magic of Christmas Around the World with The Rochester Symphony Orchestra

Step into a world of holiday wonder! Join the Rochester Symphony Orchestra for an unforgettable night of festive cheer at “Christmas Around the World” on Friday, December 11, 2026, at 8 PM.

St. Paul’s United Methodist Church will sparkle with holiday décor and come alive with the sounds of the season. Let Maestro Zeljko Milicevic and the orchestra transport you with heartwarming melodies, global holiday traditions, and joyous surprises that will leave you humming all the way home.

Feel the true spirit of the season as we welcome back senior command members of the United States Marine Corps, bringing extra sparkle to our celebration. Join us in brightening the holidays for local children by supporting the beloved “Toys for Tots” drive—bring a new, unwrapped toy and help us spread joy and hope throughout our community.

The magic continues with special guest performances by The Madrigal Chorale, directed by Dr. Brandon Ulrich. Known as one of Metro Detroit’s “artistic jewels,” this dynamic group will fill the air with beloved carols and uplifting holiday classics, making the evening truly unforgettable for all ages.

Arrive early and join in the merriment—enjoy festive pre-concert caroling from 7:20 to 7:45 PM, provided by The Madrigal Chorale. It’s the perfect way to set the mood for a magical night!
