The Music of A Charlie Brown Christmas
With Dr. Bill Bares, the Constellations Orchestra and special guest Mike Clark
Diana Wortham Theater | 3pm and 7pm
Experience the magic of the holidays with the iconic melodies of Vince Guaraldi that capture the nostalgic spirit of the season. Join us for an evening where holiday tradition meets musical innovation.
The Constellations Orchestra and Dr. Bill Bares will be joined by legendary drummer Mike Clark, who performed on Vince Guaraldi’s original Peanuts television special soundtracks in the 1970s. The show will feature two sets: the first recreating the sounds of the original Charlie Brown Christmas album and the second showcasing fresh interpretations of Bares’s arrangements of this masterpiece with the warmth and wonder of Christmas, bringing Charlie Brown and the entire Peanuts gang to life through music.
