South Jersey Pops Rings in Holidays with “Voices of the Season"

The South Jersey Pops orchestra ushers in a musical holiday with “Voices of the Season,” Dec. 17 and 18, 2017. This year’s performance of timeless and contemporary yuletide classics will feature the Audubon Elementary School 5th and 6th grade choruses as special guests.

Selections designed to get audiences in a festive mood include “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing,” “Welcome Christmas” (from How the Grinch Stole Christmas), Manheim Steamroller's interpretation of "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen," “The Huron Carol,” and Leroy Anderson's perennial favorite “A Christmas Festival,” as originally written for the Boston Pops.

Voices of the Season is the Pops’ second concert since handing the conductor’s baton to Robert Bradshaw, the orchestra’s new music director. Bradshaw, the founder and director of the Haddonfield School of Music, has been directing musical ensembles for 15 years.

The Pops will present “Voices of the Season” at 3 p.m., Dec. 17th, 2017, at Lenape High School, 235 Hartford Road, Medford. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased at the door or online at www.southjerseypops.org/events. Children under 13 are free. The orchestra will repeat the performance, without the Audubon Elementary School Chorus, at 7 p.m. Dec. 18 at Marlton United Methodist Church, 2 Marlborough Road, Marlton. As space is extremely limited for this performance, tickets must be purchased in advance. Doors open 30 minutes before each performance.
