    EPISODE FOUR TAPESTRY OF LIGHT: A HOLIDAY CELEBRATION A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT & CEO We welcome you to Heinz Hall to enjoy the music and traditions of the holiday season with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. While we can’t gather together at Heinz Hall this year, we are excited to offer Front Row: Tapestry of Light, A Holiday Celebration to offer some comfort and joy during these uncertain times. This year’s program has old favorites – and new delights. Principal Pops Conductor Byron Stripling welcomes special guest vocalist Vanessa Campagna, a global star and a Beaver County native, who was discovered by Marvin Hamlisch, the PSO’s first Principal Pops Conductor. Byron also showcases his amazing trumpet playing in special performances of “Joy to the World” and an improvisation on the theme from “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy.” The glorious brass section of the PSO is featured in three pieces, and the PSO is joined by members of the Pittsburgh Youth Chorus and a dancer from Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre School for special performances. Valerie Coleman’s Umoja (Swahili for “unity” or “togetherness”) is played by the PSO’s flute section. And, the celebration wouldn’t be complete without the annual tradition of a sing-along! We’re also very proud to present our first ever virtual Sensory Friendly Holiday Concert. This will be the Pittsburgh Symphony’s sixth season offering sensory friendly concerts, and our second Sensory Friendly Holiday Concert. Open to all, our sensory friendly performances are customized especially for those with autism spectrum disorders or who have other disabilities that create sensory sensitivities.
