There’s still time to reserve your spot for the Songbook Academy Sings the Songs of the Season. This festive cabaret-style celebration of holiday favorites returns Monday, Dec. 22, with performances at 4 and 7 p.m.
For the first time, the event will take place at the Payne & Mencias Palladium, allowing for more seating while maintaining the cozy, heartfelt atmosphere audiences cherish. Guests will enjoy a truly unique arrangement with seating on stage and in the adjacent Choral Terrace, and with the performers framed by the breathtaking backdrop of the Payne & Mencias Palladium.
Tickets are $15 for Choral Terrace seating and $25 for VIP On-stage seating. Both areas are general admission, giving guests the flexibility to choose their seats when they arrive.
Accessible seating is available. If you or a member of your party requires accommodations, simply indicate this during your ticket purchase and the Palladium team will ensure a smooth and welcoming visit.
Tickets for both showtimes are available online at TheSongbook.org/SAHoliday25, by phone at (317) 843-3800 or (877) 909-2787, or in person at the Payne & Mencias Palladium’s Fifth Third Bank Box Office, 1 Carter Green, Carmel.
This concert has quickly become one of the Songbook Foundation’s signature holiday traditions and often reaches capacity, so you should reserve your seats now.
This year’s performers represent a dynamic mix of high school students, college students, and working artists from Academy classes dating back to 2015. They will travel from places across the country, including California, Florida, Ohio, Michigan, and Tennessee, as well as many proudly returning from right here in Indiana.
Many have performed in major theatrical productions, appeared on competition programs such as American Idol, and even opened for notable artists like Matthew Morrison.
From those beginning their artistic journeys to those actively building their careers on and off the stage, this group truly showcases the range, talent, and ongoing success of the Songbook Academy community.
