We’re glad you’re here. The holiday season is always a busy time for the Dayton Performing Arts Alliance, and I want to make sure that you don’t miss any of it. We’re excited to be offering these performances of Dayton Ballet’s The Nutcracker with the sensational Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra, and we’re also looking forward to a special presentation of the wonderful jazz music from “A Charlie Brown Christmas” with the Jim Martinez Quartet on December 28. Attending The Nutcracker with family and friends is a cherished holiday tradition. Other December traditions include the Philharmonic’s presentation of Handel’s Messiah on December 18 and our New Year’s Eve concert on December 31. There’s also our free “Bach’s Lunch” concerts with the Carillon Brass; two performances at the Loft Theatre on Friday, December 13. Mainstage performances like The Nutcracker are some of our most visible offerings, but equally important performances take place in classrooms all around the Miami Valley.
