 It’s the most wonderful time of the year …

… and for years Eileen and the band have been celebrating the glorious story of Christmas, thoughtfully, uniquely and with pure unbridled joy! Eileen’s Irish and American roots shine throughout the evening’s beautiful mix of traditional, story-filled, age-old Wren Day songs, poems, and of course, foot stomping and hollerin’ roots music. Eileen and the ensemble’s plethora of instruments and voices weave throughout the evening, coupled with Ivers’ signature warmth, inviting listeners in for a tuneful, soulful celebration capturing the true spirit and joy of the season.

The Cambridge Symphony Orchestra returns to Arlington’s Town Hall to celebrate the holiday season on Sunday, December 14 at 4:00pm. Dress festively and warm up those vocal cords for our sing-along.

Featuring a very special visit by Santa himself!
