Roanoke Symphony Orchestra and Piedmont Arts Team Up to Bring Audiences the Holiday Pops Spectacular

Piedmont Arts and Roanoke Symphony Orchestra and Chorus are thrilled to announce the most highly anticipated event of the season: the Holiday Pops Spectacular. This year, this musical treat returns with an all-new matinee performance, featuring soloist Janinah Burnett. The concert starts at 3:00 PM on Sunday, Dec. 4th in the Martinsville High School Auditorium. Tickets are on sale now and are $20 for general admission, $25 for reserved seating, and $5 for students. Altrusa will collect non-perishable food items for Grace Network in the lobby during the symphony's performance.

There’s no better way to lift your spirits than with the music of the season delivered in full sound and spectacle by the Roanoke Symphony Orchestra. This year, David Stewart Wiley conducts the Holiday Pops with all the magical elements you have come to expect — high energy, familiar carols and lots of holiday warmth. The event will also be featuring world-renowned and beloved soprano Janinah Burnett as the soloist. She is known for her roles on both Broadway stages and at the Metropolitan Opera. You will not want to miss her soaring and shimmering vocals. Her album, “Love the Color of Your Butterfly,” was released in 2021 and is available for purchasing and streaming. Piedmont Arts is thrilled to host these incredible artists for this musical holiday celebration.
