Sensory Friendly Concert: Holiday Pops
Dan Meyer, Conductor

Deck the halls with boughs of holly – For the first time ever, The Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra presents our traditional Holiday Pops concert as a sensory friendly performance! Get in the holiday spirit with the entire family, in a judgement-free environment that is welcoming to all, especially those with sensory sensitivities and those on the autism spectrum.
Pre-concert activities start at 1:15 p.m.
Check out just a few of the exciting things in store for this special performance:
Dancers from the Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre are excited to meet you ahead of the concert – before they perform a timeless, audience favorite, “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy” from the Nutcracker.
The Pittsburgh Youth Chorus performs an incredible selection of holiday favorites, including music from Home Alone and A Charlie Brown Christmas.
Before the concert, stop by the front lobby for an up-close look at the hand bells, which The Three Rivers Ringers bell choir will perform with at the concert.
