A regional calendar highlight and Greeley’s favorite holiday tradition, your Greeley Philharmonic Orchestra, Greeley Chorale, and Greeley Children's Chorale again take the stage in the poinsettia-adorned Monfort Concert Hall! Start the evening with the Magic Baton Melody Contest celebrating our winning Greeley-Evans School District 6 middle school student composer. Then, the musicians fill the hall with holiday spirit as they perform classic gems such as “The First Nowell,” “Sleigh Ride,” and Victor Hely-Hutchinson's Carol Symphony. Sure to have you singing all the way home, the concert “wraps” up with the orchestra and choir performing “Angels from the Realms of Glory,” arranged by Mack Wilberg. Come gather with us, experience the last night of the Festival of Trees, and have your photo taken with Santa - all included with your ticket!

Poinsettia Pops

Union Colony Civic Center

Life for us all is filled with moments of great joy, sadness, and every emotion in between. “A Human Experience” explores this vast spectrum through Mozart’s cleverly comedic Cosí fan tutte Overture, Anna Clyne’s jovial “Masquerade,” and Rachmaninoff’s nostalgic Symphonic Dances. Concluding the season, the GPO is honored to premiere Composer-in-Residence Dylan Fixmer’s Concerto for Electric Cello - a three movement work for solo electric cello and symphony orchestra commissioned by GPO Principal cellist Becky Kutz Osterberg. This new work is based on Becky's experiences navigating lifelong depression and depicts sets of characteristics that embody her emotional journey. Drawing from Becky's first-hand experiences and scientific research on mental illness and trauma psychology, this piece is dedicated to those facing these challenges, shedding light on the often silent agony of navigating mental health issues.
