AES Indiana Yuletide Celebration returns to Hilbert Circle Theatre

Single tickets on sale for this family-favorite tradition of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra

It’s time to get ready to celebrate the magic of shared live music once again this holiday season as the AES Indiana Yuletide Celebration will return to the Hilbert Circle Theatre this December for its 35th season.

In addition to the musicians of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra (ISO) led by Principal Pops Conductor Jack Everly, crowd favorite and Grammy-award winner Sandi Patty will return as host. Special guests T.3 will also be part of the celebration this year. The three-man group made its mark earlier this year as they wowed the country on America’s Got Talent with their huge sound and amazing harmony.

The ever-popular Holly Jolly Dollies will return this year along with the tap-dancing Santas and the musical ’Twas the Night Before Christmas. New to Yuletide this year is a high-energy production number featuring a medley of holiday movie themes guaranteed to put audiences in the holiday spirit.

Rest assured, the fully decorated lobby Christmas tree where thousands of family photos have been taken in the past, along with the costumed characters and carols performed on the famous Wurlitzer organ will return to the Hilbert Circle Theatre this holiday season, ensuring more treasured memories with family and friends in 2021.

Twenty-six performances begin on Dec. 3 and continue through Dec. 23. Learn more at the ISO website about specific days, times or purchasing tickets. Per the ISO health and safety guidelines, proof of vaccination for those 12 and older and face masks for everyone over 2 years old are mandatory.
