Celebrate the holidays with the return of a beloved tradition. Songbook Academy Sings the Songs of the Season brings together alumni of the Songbook Academy for a joyful cabaret-style concert filled with timeless classics and holiday cheer at 4 and 7 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 22.
This year, the magic moves to the Payne & Mencias Palladium, offering two showtimes and expanded seating while preserving the intimate, heartwarming spirit audiences love. In a one-of-a-kind setup, guests will be seated both on stage and in the Choral Terrace, with performers singing against the stunning backdrop of the Concert Hall, creating an immersive concert experience unlike any other.
In this new format, no one will be seated in the orchestra seats of the hall. This style keeps the show intimate and the tradition of the showcase alive.
Tickets for the Choral Terrace seating are $15, while the VIP On-Stage seating is available for $25. Both options are general admission, offering audience members the opportunity to select their seats upon arrival.
Accessible seating is widely available. Guests requiring accessibility accommodations are encouraged to note this during purchase so that the team can ensure a seamless arrival experience.
Tickets for both performances can be purchased online at TheSongbook.org/SAHoliday25, by phone at (317) 843-3800 or toll-free (877) 909-2787, or in person at the Payne & Mencias Palladium’s Fifth Third Bank Box Office, 1 Carter Green, Carmel.
This concert has become one of the Songbook Foundation’s most anticipated holiday traditions and typically sells out quickly, so early ticket reservations are strongly encouraged.
