The Richmond Symphony will launch its annual holiday concert tradition Thanksgiving weekend with two performances of its “Let It Snow” program at the Dominion Energy Center’s Carpenter Theatre. 

The concerts are scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 29 at 2 and 7 p.m. The program features the Richmond Symphony, the Richmond Symphony Chorus and vocalist Laura Ann Singh of the duo Miramar. Hae Lee will conduct. 

Singh, a multilingual singer known for her interpretations of música popular brasileira and Latin boleros, joins the symphony for this year’s program. Her performances have spanned Europe, Russia and South America, along with featured appearances on NPR’s “Tiny Desk” and at New York City’s globalFEST. Organizers say she brings global flair and a warm, expressive vocal style to the holiday program. 

The family-friendly concerts will include a mix of carols and seasonal classics. Santa is also expected to be in the lobby for photos, and tickets start at about $15. 

Selections on the program include Jeff Tyzik’s “A Christmas Overture,” arrangements of “Jingle Bell Rock” and “The Christmas Song,” John Rutter’s “Jesus Child,” Handel’s “Hallelujah Chorus,” Edward Elgar’s “Yes Virginia, There Is a Santa Claus” and Leroy Anderson’s “Sleigh Ride,” among other holiday favorites. 

Both concerts will take place at the Carpenter Theatre, 600 E. Grace St. For more information, visit richmondsymphony.com
