Christmas Festival Sold Out Quickly

We apologize, but at present all performances of the Christmas Festival are sold out. We've been surprised and delighted by the quick and overwhelming response. You may enter your information and request to be put on a waiting list for tickets that may become available if others return tickets they have reserved.

In response to this unprecedented demand for Christmas Festival reservations, we will allow the public to attend the dress rehearsal of the program on Thursday, December 3, at 7:30 p.m. The doors will open for the dress rehearsal at 7:15, and no reservations will be taken. Please do not arrive before 7 p.m. if you wish to attend the dress rehearsal. This will be a working rehearsal, but it will be in full, formal attire and will run as seamlessly as possible.

We also invite you to be our guest at the Westmont Orchestra's February concert, February 25, 2011, at 8 p.m. in Hahn Hall at the Music Academy of the West, and February 27, 2011, at 3 p.m. at First Presbyterian Church. The program will feature Edvard Grieg's "Peer Gynt Suite" and music by Verdi, Saint-Saens and Ravel. Tickets are normally $10 general admission but will be offered without charge to all who order them through this website.

You may also enjoy the 2010 Christmas Festival by watching local public access television in Santa Barbara. Please consult the Santa Barbara Channels for programming details.

Blessings for a beautiful Advent and Christmas.
