Due to COVID-19 concerns, the Carmel Symphony Orchestra’s Holiday Pops Concert will be livestreamed this year.
For many in Central Indiana, this is one of most popular holiday traditions. However, due to the rising number of COVID-19 cases, CSO leadership has decided to perform The Holiday Pops Presented by IU Health in a manner that keeps musicians safely physically distanced while continuing to provide the annual event.
The concert will begin at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 12. Since this is a livestream production, you only need one access per household. Streaming concerts such as this can be enjoyed on a variety of devices from your smart TV to your smartphone. The organization said, “The live feed from The Palladium’s sound system assures that the viewer will have masterful audio.”
The Center for the Performing Arts is handling the tickets. The Box Office phone number is (317) 843-3800.
“During these crazy times, please join us on Dec. 12 for music that is sure to warm your hearts and lift your spirits. We’ll all be back together in 2021,” CSO Artistic Director Janna Hymes said. The Holiday Pops Concert will cap off 2020 and enhance your holiday season, filling you with inspiration and joy.
As part of the lineup, the event will host soloist Heather Bays and her ensemble.
Heather Bays is now a “first call” studio singer in the Nashville, Tenn., Indianapolis and Chicago markets where she records voiceovers, jingles, choral demos, film scores and video games. Bays has performed with many significant artists and companies, including Hans Zimmer, Disney, EA Games, Bill Gaither, Sandi Patty and Josh Kaufmann. She is a seasoned performer and has sung the National Anthem for the Indianapolis Colts, the Pacers and the Fever; and has performed as a featured artist with many symphonies around the country.
