Later that evening, at 7 p.m., Maestro Shane Williams will conduct “Christmas Memories” as ASO performs Christmastime favorites, including excerpts from “The Nutcracker” and an audience sing-along.

“During intermission we will present our annual silent auction of holiday baskets, and you can enjoy refreshments available from Bella Milano,” Honke said.

Tickets for both concerts are priced the same. Admission for children is free, costs $10 for adults and $5 for seniors and teens. L&C students and faculty will be admitted for free with ID.

Tickets are available at Halpin Music, online at www.altonsymphony.org, or by calling (618) 463-6933. Tickets will also be available at the door.
