The wildly popular Bramwell Tovey returns for this holiday tradition, inspired by the legendary Ormandy/Philadelphia Orchestra recording of the same name from 1962. From the classics to seasonal favorites, Maestro Tovey brings his unique touch, whimsical sense of humor, and flair for the unexpected to the podium. The Fabulous Philadelphians will sound even more glorious than usual. It's the next best thing to a visit from St. Nicholas!
