Mid-Atlantic Symphony Orchestra Presents Its Annual “Holiday Joy” Concerts

A Festive Tradition Returns with Seasonal Favorites, Opera Highlights, and Guest Soloists Kresley Figueroa and Jonathan Patton

The Mid-Atlantic Symphony Orchestra (MSO) is delighted to present its annual Holiday Joy concerts—three festive performances that have become a cherished December tradition across the Delmarva Peninsula. Led by Grammy Award–winning Music Director Michael Repper, the orchestra will perform on Thursday, December 4 at 7:30 PM at the Todd Performing Arts Center at Chesapeake College in Wye Mills, Saturday, December 6 at 7:30 PM at Cape Henlopen High School in Lewes, and Sunday, December 7 at 3:00 PM at the Ocean City Performing Arts Center.

Each year, Holiday Joy brings together the warmth of the season with the artistry of the MSO’s musicians. This year’s program promises an especially memorable experience featuring returning guest soloists Kresley Figueroa, soprano, as well as Jonathan Patton, baritone—two rising operatic voices whose performances have captivated audiences nationwide. Together with the orchestra, they will perform a blend of beloved holiday songs, classic carols, and celebrated opera arias.

Audiences will hear sparkling orchestral works including Festive Fanfare, Leroy Anderson’s Christmas Festival and Sleigh Ride, along with lush arrangements of White Christmas, Let It Snow, and Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas. The program also features opera arias, duets, and the beloved “’Twas the Night Before Christmas,” narrated by our gifted soloists.

With its combination of festive symphonic offerings and cherished holiday music, the 2025 Holiday Joy concerts are certain to raise your spirits and are the perfect way to usher in the holidays. Now in our 28th season, the Holiday Joy concerts continue to be one of the highlights of the MSO season.
