Traditional Christmas.
The Vancouver Symphony Orchestra hosts a festive collection of five holiday concerts this December, including Traditional Christmas, Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons, Home Alone in Concert, The Snowman, and Elf in Concert.
An annual staple, Traditional Christmas brings fan-favourite songs and carols to the stage in nine performances from December 6 to 16. Showtimes are at 4 pm and 7:30 pm across various venues: the Michael J Fox Theatre, South Delta Baptist Church, Centennial Theatre, Bell Performing Arts Centre, and the Orpheum.
RBC assistant conductor David Bui leads guest soloists and the VSO, while host Christopher Gaze delights with his characteristic antics and storytelling. Among the 12 songs on the lineup are Irving Berlin’s White Christmas and John Williams’s Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone Suite for Orchestra.
Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons takes place on December 9 at 8 pm and December 10 at 2 pm, presented in partnership with the Chan Centre for the Performing Arts. Audiences can delight in one of the classical canon’s most iconic pieces, led by VSO concertmaster Nicholas Wright.

Home Alone in Concert shows at the Orpheum on December 13 and 14 at 7 pm, as part of Movie Nights with the VSO presented by TELUS. This beloved comedy features renowned composer Williams’s charming score performed live to a screening of the 1990 Twentieth Century Fox film. Macaulay Culkin stars as eight-year-old Kevin McCallister, who’s accidentally left behind when his family leaves for Christmas vacation.
Magic abounds on December 17 at the Orpheum, with 1 pm and 3 pm performances of Raymond Briggs’s 1982 film The Snowman. In the festive favourite, a snowman built by a young boy comes to life on screen as the VSO plays a live soundtrack.
Rounding out the holiday lineup on December 21 and 22 at the Orpheum are 7 pm performances of Elf in Concert, as part of Movie Nights with the VSO presented by TELUS. Relive this heartwarming holiday classic in which Buddy the Elf travels to New York in search of his real father, as every note of John Debney’s wonderful score is played live to the film’s screening.
Tickets and details for each show can be found at the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra.
