When Latin jazz meets Latin holiday music, it’s cause for a celebración. Join the Master Chorale and an all-star line-up of jazz musicians for a joyous, fun-filled holiday party inside Disney Hall.

Centuries of traditions, culture and faith live on through the music of the Americas. Inspired by this legacy, Grant Gershon and Grammy™-nominated producer-arranger Roger Treece conjure up an adventurous mix capturing the essence of traditional Latin holiday music.
