Holiday Pops

Yaniv Dinur, Conductor and Emcee

Share the joy of the season with friends and family at the best holiday concert in town! Our magnificent Orchestra plays all your holiday favorites, and the Southeastern Massachusetts Youth Orchestra members join in for a holiday performance that will make everyone merry!

Our family-friendly atmosphere, the festively decorated theater, and your choice of performance times make this the perfect family holiday outing. The children’s matinee at 3:30 features fun surprises for the young at heart (like a visit from Santa and a gift for each child!), while the 7:00 concert features a bit more music. Both performances are approximately one hour long, with no intermission.

Please note that the outside performances by the Showstoppers before each concert have been canceled due to weather. Free cider and donuts will be available in the lobby on your way into the theatre. We apologize for any inconvenience.

The Zeiterion requires all attendees at indoor performances and gatherings to wear masks, and attendees over the age of 12 to provide documentation demonstrating full vaccination against the COVID-19 virus or submit documentation of a negative COVID-19 test (PCR test within 72 hours or antigen test administered by a provider within 24 hours of the show that you are attending). The same is expected of all Zeiterion staff, event personnel, and volunteers.

Please visit the Zeiterion’s website to view complete details on all Health & Safety protocols.
