“Our musicians can’t wait to perform with this Indiana legend!” said CSO Artistic Director Janna Hymes. “Jon embodies everything that is ‘Hoosier’ in the very best sense, and his passion for music is evident in each note he plays. We’re excited to work with Jon and to bring the gift of a couple of delightful shows to our friends and fans during this CSO season of exceptional music. We promise it will be one of the very best ways to celebrate your holidays, with the CSO and Jon presenting some of your most cherished and familiar seasonal sounds!”

CSO has partnered with Hamilton County’s Merciful H.E.L.P. Center and will be collecting items at both Holiday Pops performances to benefit people in need throughout the area. Add one or more of these requested items to your holiday shopping list, and bring them to Westfield High School on Dec. 18 to donate:

Blankets (new or loved), new hats and gloves, new socks and underwear (any size/style), hygiene items (toothpaste, toothbrushes, dental floss, deodorant, face or body lotion, soap, shampoo, conditioner). Collection bins will be located near the auditorium entrance doors for your donations to Merciful H.E.L.P. Center.

“We hope all of our CSO supporters will extend the spirit of the holiday season to those in need, and bring along one or more items to contribute to Merciful H.E.L.P. Center,” Hymes said. “The Center will ensure that every donation benefits a person in our area who needs that helping hand right now.”
