It has been a hot topic on the airwaves lately - at least those that serve the classical music business - whether to play popular holiday music at classical concerts during the "Holiday Season". Some say yes, some no. We have tried both with the LSO. In my experience, audiences like to have a Sing-a-Long or Messiah excerpts, Nutcracker excerpts,etc. What do you think? The other option is to have just classical orchestral music with no specific holiday focus. Possibly the best answer is a little of both...
Happy Holidays to all in the meantime...

Thanks very much for sharing this interesting post. I am just starting up my own blog and this has given me inspiration to what I can achieve.
So glad that you enjoyed it! It is a subject I am very passionate about, but not sure that I am an expert. It is indeed time that American audiences and orchestras realize the value and greatness of our musical heritage!
thank you! I think it is a subject that resonates with many orchestras and conductors...
