Detroit Symphony Orchestra: Home For The Holidays

Detroit Symphony Orchestra: Home For The Holidays at Detroit Symphony Orchestra Hall

The holiday season deserves its own soundtrack, performed live. Detroit Symphony Orchestra: Home For The Holidays arrives at Detroit Symphony Orchestra Hall on Friday, December 11, 2026, at 10:45 AM, putting Principal Pops Conductor Enrico Lopez-Yañez at the podium for one of the city's treasured seasonal traditions. Festive favorites take on new dimension when a full orchestra delivers them, and this midmorning performance gives you a way to build the day around music with someone who loves a seasonal concert.

Vocalist Christian Dante White joins the announced musicians, adding a voice to the orchestral arrangements. Director Jessica Riley leads the choral forces: Bloomfield Hills High School Chorus and The Jills. That combination of orchestra, soloist and choir creates the textural variety that makes holiday programs compelling. Strings carry one melody, voices lift another, and the interplay between sections keeps your attention moving through the repertoire.

Make this a Friday morning you share with someone special. The holiday repertoire supplies the seasonal connection; the combination of orchestra, solo singer and choral voices gives it a live musical identity. Bring family, invite a friend, or make it your own December concert tradition. A morning performance leaves the rest of the day ahead of you.

Take someone who loves live music during the holidays and make this Detroit tradition part of your December. Book your tickets for Home For The Holidays at Orchestra Hall.
