Musicians of the Montgomery Symphony Orchestra.
In Monday’s (12/15) Montgomery Advertiser (Alabama), Shannon Heupel writes, “When the Montgomery Symphony Orchestra and Montgomery Chorale come together Dec. 18 for this year’s Joyce Caddell Holiday Pops concert, the music will be full of nostalgia, with a variety that’ll have something for everybody. ‘My idea when I sat down to plan this concert was, what are the kinds of Christmas music that evoke memories and emotion and nostalgia,’ said James Seay, artistic director and conductor of the Montgomery Chorale, who will be leading the performance in place of MSO Maestro Jamie Reeves. ‘Jamie asked if I could step in and conduct the orchestra and the chorale for Holiday Pops. Of course, I very enthusiastically agreed,’ Seay said. The concert of orchestra and voices is 7 p.m. at Troy University’s Davis Theatre for the Performing Arts … Seay said he’s excited about the diversity in this performance, which will include holiday classics, orchestral arrangements, and beloved carols—including traditional holiday favorites like the ‘A Charlie Brown Christmas’ medley…. The Montgomery Symphony Orchestra will perform a variety of Christmas and Hanukkah music for the Joyce Caddell Holiday Pops concert. Classic holiday music is also well represented.”
