Diablo Symphony Presents "Musical Stories for the Holidays" with Susan Strauss and WomenSing

The Diablo Symphony joins forces with master storyteller Susan Strauss and local choir WomenSing on Saturday, December 2, for a joyous holiday celebration geared for all ages. Beginning at 2:00 p.m. at the Walnut Creek Presbyterian Church, the program includes two movements from Tchaikovsky’s fantasy-like Symphony No. 1 (“Winter Dreams”) as well as the new commissioned work “Winter Stories” by composer Chris Castro, with narration by Susan Strauss. A series of holiday songs by WomenSing (known for its vibrant and beautifully blended sound) and holiday orchestral favorites — from “Hannukah Overture” to “Sleigh Ride” — will delight all.
