The program, conducted by David Bugli, will include several works, including Variations on “My Dancing Day,” “The Bells of Christmas,” music from “The Polar Express,” “A Most Wonderful Christmas,” and Hanukkah songs.

The Carson City Symphony Chorus, under the direction of choral conductor Michael Langham, will perform “I Wonder as I Wander” by John Rutter and “All is Well” by Michael Langham.

Both groups will present “’Twas the Night Before Christmas” in a new arrangement by Ken Malucelli and “Adeste Fidelis,” while the Victorian Dancers will whirl and swirl to the music of Johann Strauss, Jr.

Performers and audience members will join together for “A Christmas Sing-along,” the traditional Holiday Treat finale.
