the performing arts center is always so magical this time of year, it feels like the whole town comes together to celebrate 
can't wait for Natalie Conte's performance on dec 14! her voice gives me chills every time 
and ed vezinho's big band show sounds like such a blast 
i'm totally going to check out some of those tchaikovsky shows too, who needs the movie when you have live ballet? 
they have such a great lineup this year too, from The LeeVees to Natalie Conte & Ed Vezinho. i'm thinking of getting tix for "The Nutcracker" though, who doesn't love Tchaikovsky? 
️ and can we talk about how much i love holiday music? it's like the one thing that brings everyone together in a festive spirit! 
. I mean, why can't we just celebrate all holidays at once? It feels like we're already so caught up in our own traditions that it's hard to appreciate the others. Plus, with all these performances and concerts lined up, it's gonna be tough for people who don't feel like celebrating the holidays to even enjoy a show without feeling left out 
. I mean, we're already at the point where you can pay good money to go see some dude sing "Gesu Bambino" in December... it just feels like the holiday season has lost its magic 
.
. And of course who can resist Tchaikovsky's "Nutcracker"? 
Natalie Conte's carol singalongs sound like a perfect way to get in the holiday mood 
! Anyone else excited for these shows?
with all these amazing performances! Hanukkah celebration sounds like so much fun, The LeeVees are gonna bring the energy 
and humor to the mainstage. And who can resist a good ol' fashioned Holiday Choral Concert 
. And Natalie Conte's voice is literally angelic - can't wait to see her perform "Gesu Bambino" and "O Holy Night" 
. Ed Vezinho & the Jim Ward Big Band are gonna bring that A Charlie Brown Christmas magic 
... I'm planning on buying tickets ASAP 
. Mark your calendars and grab those tickets, it's gonna be a wild ride! 
and Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker is always a classic 
Ed Vezinho & Jim Ward Big Band's tribute to A Charlie Brown Christmas is gonna be so funky 
gotta get my tix ASAP! Anyone else excited for the holiday season?! 
. Still, can't complain about all the festive options in Stockton - Natalie Conte's gonna bring the soulful vibes on Dec 14 
. I'm old enough to remember when "The Nutcracker" was just a holiday classic... not some over-produced spectacle 
. Anyway, looks like they're bringing back the magic for this December line-up 
️!
The LeeVees' Hanukkah celebration sounds like so much fun - who wouldn't want to rock out to some Chanukah jams? 
And Tchaikovsky's "The Nutcracker" is a classic, I'm sure it'll be magical on stage. Natalie Conte's performance of "Gesu Bambino" and "O Holy Night" should be really beautiful too. It's great that the university is offering carol singalongs for people to get into the holiday mood 
. And Ed Vezinho & the Jim Ward Big Band's tribute to "A Charlie Brown Christmas" sounds like a blast from the past - it's always wonderful to see classic tunes brought back to life.
