The Las Vegas Philharmonic settles into Reynolds Hall for its annual holiday tradition, this year led by new Music Director Rei Hotoda, who brings fresh energy to the beloved program. Expect a mix of sparkling seasonal classics and familiar favorites, all performed beneath the hall's dramatic balconies and against the backdrop of a full orchestra. The evening carries that particular warmth of live holiday music—strings swelling through well-known melodies, brass adding punch to the festive numbers, all set within a space decked out for the season.
Beyond the standard repertoire, the program promises a few surprises and special guests, giving the evening some unpredictability alongside the comfort of tradition. It's the kind of show that works well as a holiday outing, whether you're bringing family, a date, or just want an afternoon or evening surrounded by orchestral sound and Christmas cheer in one of the city's grander performance spaces.
