Saline Symphony Orchestra in concert: Saturday, December 13th, 7 pm
A TWISTED CHRISTMAS - Saturday, December 13th, 2025, 7 pm
The Saline Symphony Orchestra's upcoming concert, "A Twisted Christmas", will take you on an imaginative holiday ride this December 13th at 7 pm in Bryant High School's Love Auditorium (BHS Fine Arts Building) with a delightful mix of classical fare and a walk on the wild side of the Christmas Holiday. Dr. Aleksandr Polyakov will conduct the musical journey, featuring Mrs. Mardell Lasiter as the evening's Master of Ceremonies.
The approximately 90 minute program features the orchestral premiere of Chris Richard's "The Krampus Suite", a musical battle between Krampus and Santa. Dr. Amy Porter (soprano) will perform Bach's "Schlafe, Meine Leibster". And the program wouldn't be complete without student musicians, including the Parkway Elementary Choir and the Hurricane Creek Elementary Music Club, both from the Bryant School District.
Donations for the Bryant High School Food Pantry will be collected in the lobby before the concert.
Admission to the event is free; donations are encouraged. You don't need any tickets, but seating is not reserved. Come early for the best parking and seating, and enjoy our extra performances in the lobby and during intermission. The performance is suitable for all ages.
The Saline Symphony Orchestra is a 501(c)3 nonprofit and our performances are made possible by the Greater Bryant Chamber of Commerce (community partner and sponsor), Drs. Greg & Kay Reed (donors), Walmart Store #336 in Sheridan, and the generous donations of our patrons, like you.
