Across the globe, people gather for celebrations and festivals in December. While traditions differ and belief systems vary, the main constants are music and food. Holiday Spirit is a snapshot of music written for and celebrated during the holiday season, knitting together an idea of how the world would sound, if we all joined together and had one big concert.

Holiday Spirit

Richmond Hill Centre for the Performing Arts

When we listen to nature, we hear trees rustling, rain falling, bees buzzing, clatter of thunder and lightning, waves crashing, or the roar of fire. When composers listen to nature, they hear these sounds, but they also hear music! From the Baroque to the 21st Century, many composers have found inspiration by the sounds and power of water. H2O features a wonderful program of music that describes mesmerizing offerings of water like dramatic storms at seat, rivers, lakes, oceans, fountains, and even mythical water creatures. We promise that nobody will go home thirsty this evening!

Join us for an evening of music, celebration, pride and unity as the RHPO performs a program of popular Anthems by Icons of the LGBTQ+ community. The concert hall will literally rock with popular Club Classics & Dance Hits, Anthems of Empowerment and Pride, Musical Theatre, and songs that we have all grown up with that are cherished by the queer community and beyond... way beyond.
