In anticipation of PCC’s upcoming return to Carnegie Hall, experience the wonder of Christmas in New York, complete with a bustling city street scene brimming with holiday energy and magic. Journey across the globe to discover how Christmas is celebrated throughout the continent of Africa, featuring vibrant percussion, infectious rhythms and spirited dance.

What’s Christmas without a little Whoville cheer? Join the Whos for a whimsical Who-bilation, with a special visit from the Grinch himself. And no holiday adventure would be complete without a trip aboard the Polar Express! Climb aboard for a magical ride to the North Pole, where the spirit of Christmas shines brightest (for those who still hear the bells). Embrace the joy of homecoming as the chorus celebrates the warmth of friends and family gathered together for the holidays—a heartfelt reminder of what makes this season so special.
