Michelle Merrill, guest conductor
The West Virginia Symphony Orchestra (WVSO) is excited to announce a free holiday concert Season Celebrations on Saturday, December 3 at 2:00 p.m. at Emmanuel Baptist Church on Charleston’s West Side.
Thanks to generous support of funding provided by the City of Charleston through the American Rescue Plan Act, the WVSO will present an abbreviated version of its traditional holiday concert at Emmanuel Baptist Church located at 1404 W Washington Street in Charleston. Admission to the concert is free and tickets are not needed for the one-hour concert that will be hosted with no intermission.
“We can’t thank the City of Charleston enough for their support of this special holiday presentation,” said WVSO President Joe Tackett. “Emmanual Baptist is a beautiful venue, and we are thrilled to fill it with the sounds of symphonic, holiday music during this free concert for the community.”
Returning Guest Conductor and crowd favorite Michelle Merrill will lead the WVSO in a festive holiday show, featuring selections like “The First Noel,” “Hannukah Festival Overture,” “How the Grinch Stole Christmas,” and “The Polar Express Suite.” Additionally, there will a musical version of “Fantasia on Greensleeves” featuring a reading of The Night Before Christmas by a special guest.
Thank you to generous support of funding provided by the City of Charleston through the American Rescue Plan Act:
