THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. - s4story -- The New West Symphony concludes its 2025 season with their radiant holiday program, "Winter Dreams." This dazzling final concert, conducted by Michael Christie, takes place on Saturday, December 6, at 7 PM at the Bank of America Performing Arts Center (Thousand Oaks), and Sunday, December 7, at 3 PM at the Rancho Campana Performing Arts Center (Camarillo).

"Winter Dreams" promises an evening that glitters with musical variety, combining classical elegance with festive traditions. The program is built around music from the evocative Tchaikovsky Symphony No. 1, "Winter Dreams," which sets a luminous, white-Christmas mood, immediately followed by the brilliant swing of Duke Ellington's Nutcracker Suite.

The celebration is further enhanced by the talents of California Contemporary Ballet (directed by Aerin Holt), the New West Symphony Chorus (directed by Wyant Morton) and the Los Robles Children's Choir (directed by Emma Roche). The choruses will deliver choral works and holiday carols—including a touching Las Posadas Celebration—sung in both English and Spanish, adding a golden warmth to the performance.
