Buckle on your Santa Suit and harness up the reindeer! The Orillia Concert Band is now rehearsing for our annual Christmas Concerts. We continue the tradition of offering you a choice of Christmas concerts to attend.

Our pair of Annual Christmas Concerts, the Afternoon Christmas Concert and the Christmas Prelude Concert, will bring the gift of music to all at St. Paul’s Centre, 62 Peter St. N., Orillia on Saturday, December 7, 2024.

Christmas Concert Details:

On Saturday, December 7 at 3:30, our one hour long family Afternoon Christmas Concert will present a lovely mix of Christmas classics and fun for children young and old. And, of course, sing-along carols! And if we’ve been nice, we hope for a visit from a rather famous elf. The Orillia Community Children’s Choir will join us on Saturday afternoon with their sweet angelic voices. A jolly way to begin the festive season. 

Our traditional Christmas kick-off concert, Christmas Prelude Concert, is on Saturday evening, December 7 at 7:30. Sing-along to carols and share beautiful classic Christmas music as well as Christmas show tunes and fun with us all. Choral music and Christmas go together like 8 reindeer and Santa’s sleigh and we welcome the Orillia Vocal Ensemble under the direction of Blair Bailey as well as the joy of the lovely voice of our special soloist, Alexandra Teske.

Tickets for both concerts available at the door (cash only) and also at the links below . Please note that tickets purchased online will appear in your statement as Zeffy, NOT as the Orillia Concert Band.
