Overview:


Celebrate the magic of the season with the Bozeman Symphony’s beloved Holiday Spectacular, a heartwarming tradition filled with joy, wonder, and festive cheer. Sparkling orchestral favorites, treasured holiday classics, and a lively carol sing-along come together in a celebration designed to delight the audience of all ages.

Joining the orchestra are the Bozeman Symphonic Choir and acclaimed operatic soprano Madison Leonard, praised for her “lovely vocal delicacy” by The Telegraph and celebrated for her 2025 debut with the Metropolitan Opera in Carmen. She will bring warmth and radiant lyricism to two beloved gems, Brahms’ Wiegenlied and Mozart’s Laudate Dominum.

The orchestra will also shine in the enchanting “Dream Pantomime” from Humperdinck’s Hansel and Gretel, a luminous musical tableau that captures the wonder and innocence of the holiday season. Gather your family and friends and make this festive celebration part of your holiday tradition.
