Holiday Pops Extravaganza set December 17

The Southeast Arkansas Concert Association will present a Holiday Pops Extravaganza at 3 p.m. Sunday, December 17, at the Fine Arts Center on the University of Arkansas at Monticello campus. The event will feature the South Arkansas Symphony Orchestra, which is now in its 61st season.

The group will be joined by soprano Haley Greer, bass-baritone Greg Pearson and dozens of area choir students. Music will include traditional favorites, along with some rarely-heard newer carols. The concert will be conducted by Kermit Poling, a Centaur recording artist who recently conducted the London Symphony Orchestra for a new album of his music. The finale will feature an audience sing-a-long medley of best-known carols.

Tickets are $20 and may be purchased at the door, by calling 870-460-1888, or at searkconcert.org.
