swing christmas

Minnesota Orchestra's resident trumpeter Charles Lazarus takes center stage at the Orchestra Hall this December, leading a stellar band through a program of holiday classics! Expect swinging hits, festive funk and a brand new take on some of the most beloved Christmas music you thought you knew.

Lazarus' supergroup band includes talents such as keyboardist Tommy Barbarella (known for his work with Prince, Art Garfunkel, Nick Jonas and Spike Lee), Grammy winning percussionist Daryl Boudreaux and more, backed up by the Lazarus Brass and the Angelica Cantati Youth Choirs. Please note, the Minnesota Orchestra will not be performing at this show.
