The Music of A Charlie Brown Christmas!

Originally broadcast in 1965, A Charlie Brown Christmas is hands-down one of the most beloved specials in TV history. Commissioned by Peanuts creator Charles M. Schulz, Vince Guaraldi composed and performed the timeless contemporary jazz score, which wonderfully reflects both the spirit of the legendary Peanuts characters and the Christmas season.

Glen, Ruth, and Lorca have created a sensation with their superb interpretations of this beloved, uplifting music. Get your tickets today and make sure you and your family get the season off to a Charlie Brown start!
