Join Festival City Symphony as it presents a physically distanced and family-friendly Holiday Pajama Jamboree concert at the Wilson Center! Featuring FCS Music Director Carter Simmons and guest MC, Miss Abigail Hanna, the orchestra will perform traditional holiday favorites, including “Frosty the Snowman,” “Waltz of the Flowers” from The Nutcracker, and Leroy Anderson’s “Sleigh Ride.” Geared towards children and their families, Festival City Symphony’s Pajama Jamboree concerts include narration to educate children about the music and instruments of the orchestra. Casual dress is encouraged, including pajamas, teddy bears, and blankets! Pajama Jamborees are best suited for children in K4 through fifth grade.
Milwaukee’s Festival City Symphony is a classical symphony orchestra that showcases area professional musicians. The Symphony’s mission is to extend the reach of classical music in the community with reasonable pricing, interesting themes, and informative formats that embrace people of all ages.
This performance is free to the public with a suggested $10/person donation! You may make your donation when you order or in person the night of the performance. All proceeds will benefit the Wilson Center and Festival City Symphony.
PLUS! Set your holidays aglow and join us at the Wilson Center as we light up the night! Audiences will have an opportunity before and after all “Sights & Sounds of the Season” performances to purchase refreshing holiday spirits & sweet treats while enjoying a fun and festive light display in our beautiful Burke Colonnade and surrounding grounds.
Audiences are also welcome to go virtual with us this holiday season!
Please note the following safety precautions are in place to help make possible a fun, safe, and physically distanced holiday experience for all guests!
A full duct and air filtration replacement and cleaning has been done throughout our venue in anticipation of our holiday performances.
All holiday performances will take place in The Harris Theater and seating will be limited to 25% capacity (no more than 150 tickets sold).
Our dampers are on full time in the theater exhausting and bringing fresh air in, which results in 100% air turnover in The Harris Theater every 20 minutes.
Electrostatic cleaning takes place in our venue daily, as well as 30 minutes prior to every performance and immediately following every performance.
This performance will last no more than 60 minutes and will not include an intermission.
To encourage physical distancing, once we receive your ticket order, our box office will pre-assign seats within your purchased section to ensure your group is sat together and at a safe distance from other parties. If we have questions about your order, we will contact you.
To ensure physical distance between artists and audience, the first three rows of the main floor will not be seated.
Face masks will be required for staff, volunteers, and patrons at all times in our venue.
Hand sanitizer stations will be available throughout the building.
A methodical cleaning process of all public spaces in our venue will occur during and between every show.
Additional information about your performance experience will be sent to your email address no less than 48 hours prior to your performance.
