"Hollywood Holidays" brings the magic of holiday movies to life through a festive concert featuring the San Jose Wind Symphony, conducted by SJWS Music and Artistic Director, Dr David Vickerman. Enjoy beloved music from films like "The Polar Express," "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation," and "Home Alone," alongside classic Christmas and holiday favorites. This enchanting event is perfect for families with a special opportunity for children to join the fun onstage during a performance of "The Night Before Christmas." http://www.sjws.org/
As we celebrate the holidays with family and friends, our hearts go out to those in need. For this special December concert, we are collaborating with Family Supportive Housing, a local charity whose mission is to help families who are experiencing homelessness remain intact, while addressing their needs for food, shelter, employment, and education.
