The 53-year-old, 85-member Denver Concert Band, led by Jacinda Bouton, has a family treat planned for its “Russian Holiday” concert at 2 p.m. Nov. 24 at Lone Tree Arts Center. Santa and Mrs. Claus will be there to hand out candy canes to children. The joyous music will also be a treat, featuring Russian and American works. Although Russians were forbidden to celebrate religious holidays for 75 years after the Communist Revolution, they retained a holiday spirit, one learns with a bit of online research. They focused on New Year’s trees and celebrations. However, before and again in the present, St. Nicholas is popular and the Santa who appears on Nov. 24 is cast in his image — the 11th-century Bishop of Myrna in red robes. St. Nicholas performed miracles and the gift-giving was handled by Old Babouschka, who brought presents to kids as she looked for the Christ Child. Russian
“Russian Holiday,” a concert by the Denver Concert Band, will be at 2 p.m. Nov. 24 at Lone Tree Arts Center, 10075 Commons St., Lone Tree. Tickets cost $13/$10, 720-509-1000, lonetreeartscenter.org.
Christmas is celebrated on Jan. 7, preceded by a special dinner and church service on Christmas Eve. Festive music is important and the band’s program begins with Rimsky Korsakov’s “Procession of the Nobles,” followed by “Alleluia” by Samuel Hazo and “Midnight Sleighride,” originally by Prokofiev. Peter Tchaikovsky’s “Nutcracker Suite” is beloved worldwide and it will be followed by “Christmas Sing-A-Long” by James Ployhar. Following intermission, Prokofiev’s “March, Op. 99” and the Carpenters’ “Merry Christmas Darling” will be followed by Larry MacTaggart’s arrangement of “Laughing All the Way.” Alfred Reed’s “Russian Christmas Music” and Leroy Anderson’s ever-popular “Sleigh Ride” wrap up this festive program.
