Of course, you will also hear many of your favorite Christmas carols performed by the symphony, the Louisiana College Chorale, and the Alexandria Senior High choir. Also at this concert, the Symphony features the region’s best high-school aged string players in our “Side by Side” program. It is a wonderful opportunity for these young musicians to get a taste of what it is like to make a career as a professional musician. The Symphony has even had some of the program’s alumni go on to be hired in the orchestra as they continue their careers as young musicians.
Everyone that has been to the concert in past years will agree that it is truly a concert for the whole family and a great way to get in the holiday mood! The concert is set to begin at 2:30pm on Sunday, December 6th at the Coughlin-Saunders Performing Arts Center in Alexandria. Tickets range from $10.00 to $25.00, and can be purchased at www.rapidessymphony.org or by calling (318) 442-9709.
