BROCKTON – The voices of 90 Brockton children will sing Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer during the Brockton Symphony Orchestra’s annual Holiday Pops Concert on Sunday.
The Angelo Elementary School Chorus, under the direction of Susan Moscardelli-Zauner, will perform the classic holiday song during the 3 p.m. concert in the auditorium of Brockton High School, 470 Forest Ave.
“They are very excited. They’ve never done this before,” said Moscardelli-Zauner, who teaches music at the Angelo School. “They’re fifth graders. They’re only 10 years old. I told them this will be a lifelong memory for them.”
The annual concert draws hundreds of people each year. Last year’s concert saw about 600 attendees, said Emilian Badea, who will conduct the holiday concert.
Four musicians from Brockton High – playing the violin, flute, and cello – will join the 40-plus member orchestra, he said.
“It’s a good chance to promote youngsters and give them the experience to sit in a symphony setting,” Badea said.
The program will feature holiday music and classical selections played by the orchestra, including “Festive Sounds of Hanukah” by Bill Holcombe, “Radetzky March” by Johann Strauss Sr. and Leroy Anderson’s “Sandpaper Ballet.”
“It’s a nice selection,” Badea said. “It includes a lot of variety, especially music that other orchestras do not really perform.”
Margaret Lias, mezzo-soprano, will perform. The Angelo School Chorus will also perform “Here in My House.”
The audience will be invited to sing along to “A Christmas Festival” by Leroy Anderson, organizers said.
Badea said local residents should take advantage of having a symphony Brockton.
“You have a symphony orchestra in your city. You don’t have to travel to Boston or other cities. It’s a good time,” he said.
Parents can bring their children aged 18 and younger to the concert for free.
“We are looking to spread the goodness of music and goodness of people through our music,” Badea said.
Tickets are $25 for adults, $20 for seniors and students and free for people 18 and younger.
Tickets may be purchased online at www.brocktonsymphony.org, by calling 508-588-3841 or at the door.
