HURON – As the holiday season draws near, the Firelands Symphony Orchestra (FSO) invites families, friends, and music lovers across the region to share in the warmth and spirit of the season at “Holidays and Harmonies,” the annual holiday concert blending orchestral music, choral voices, and holiday tradition. Two performances will be held on Sunday, Dec. 14, at 2:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m., at the Sawmill Creek Convention Center in Huron.

For the first time, the Firelands Symphony Orchestra is presenting two performances of “Holidays and Harmonies” in response to the concert’s growing popularity. In recent years, the event has drawn increasingly large audiences, with demand regularly surpassing available seating. By offering both an afternoon and an evening performance, FSO is ensuring that more families and community members can experience this cherished holiday tradition.

The concert will feature the full orchestra, as well as the FSO Chorale, under the direction of Michael Shirtz. The concert will include offerings of festive favorites, beloved sing-along classics, and choral music from around the world.
