Join Dr. Ruth Ochs and the Westminster Community Orchestra for their annual free family holiday concert on Wednesday, December 11 at 7:30 p.m. in Hillman Hall, in the Marian Buckelew Cullen Center on the Westminster Campus, 101 Walnut Lane, Princeton. Audience members requiring seating assistance should arrive at 7:15 p.m. Free-will cash donations to benefit area food pantries will be accepted.

The festive performance will feature Rimsky-Korsakov’s “Dance of the Tumblers” from The Snow Maiden, Delius’s “Sleigh Ride,” Samuel Coleridge Taylor’s Christmas Overture, Festive Sounds of Hanukah (arranged by Bill Holcombe), and the holiday favorite, How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Westminster Conservatory faculty member Danielle Sinclair will join the orchestra for two traditional carols, “Or vous Tremoussez Pasteurs de Judee” (Make merry, Shepherds of Judea) and “El Noi de la Mare” (The Child of the Mother), with former Westminster Honors Program student Julianna Wong, mezzo-soprano. The concert will also include other Christmas favorites, and the audience is invited to lend their voices in Finnegan’s popular Christmas Sing-along.
