Let the radiant strings and majestic brass of the Firebird Pops surround you with timeless holiday charm and shimmering film-score magic. Joined by acclaimed soloists Mara Bonde and Sandra Piques Eddy under the baton of Firebird Pops Orchestra’s Music Director Brendan J. Kenney, this program sparkles with beloved seasonal classics, heartwarming music from the movies, and imaginative arrangements that capture both the spirit of the season and the castle’s medieval grandeur. From O Holy Night and A Christmas Festival to Sleigh Ride, you’ll delight in cherished favorites alongside reimaginings that weave together Gregorian chant, familiar and medieval carols, and classical brilliance – creating an atmosphere of festive warmth throughout the Great Hall. Be part of the North Shore’s most treasured holiday tradition. These performances are made possible in part through the generous support of the Gloucester Cultural Council. At the time of this performance, guests will also experience the Holiday Illumination and a portion of the Deck the Halls celebration. Beginning with the stroll from the parking lot, attendees will enjoy the Holiday Illumination lights cast upon the castle’s exterior, including the iconic arches, bell tower, front Towers, and drawbridge. As you enter the Museum and continue through the small rooms leading from the Museum Shop to the Great Hall, you’ll enjoy a peek into the annual Deck The Halls holiday celebration, where in Museum is dressed for the holidays. While the rest of the Museum will be closed for tours during this time, attendees are eligible for a 20% discount on self-guided tour tickets for the day of their performance reservation. Discounted tickets can be purchased in person at the Museum shop until 2:00 PM on the day of the event with proof of the performance reservation. Proceeds from these performances will support the ongoing restoration and preservation of the Museum. Museum Member savings apply.
