The Herald Angels Sing” and “Santa Claus Is Coming to Town,” as well as the “Hallelujah Chorus” from Handel’s Messiah. Local celebrities join the orchestra to narrate the Clement Clarke Moore classic “’Twas the Night Before Christmas” — Wednesday’s guest is chef Todd English. Each performance ends with a holiday sing-along.
