Earplugs…you’ll need them where we’re taking you.
Join the Conway Symphony Orchestra as they take their Christmas performance to new heights! See Tchaikovsky’s legendary Nutcracker Ballet unlike ever before and get ready to have your faces melted by the lights, the theatrics, and the screaming of Van Halen-esque guitar solos with selections from Paul O’Neill’s Trans-Siberian Orchestra! YES, there will be a ten-person rock ensemble center stage for this performance!
