Barbara W. Nelson Fine Arts Center

Under the baton of Maestro Sergey Bogza, the Holiday by the Bay concert proudly presents a fusion of a full symphony orchestra with the vibrant voices of our newly formed children’s and adult choirs. This combination enhances the emotional depth of the performance, offering an immersive experience that showcases the unique strengths of both instrumental and vocal music. This event not only highlights the diverse talents of our performers but also unites the community in a festive and unforgettable celebration of the season.

Panama City Symphony is pleased to collaborate with the Bay Area Choral Society (BACS), for this concert. Founded in 1989, BACS performs two concerts each season in Port St. Joe and Apalachicola. Under the direction of Dana Langford since 2016, the group was invited to sing in Carnegie Hall in December 2024. “We are excited to have this opportunity to collaborate with the Panama City Symphony!”

Celebrate the season in your festive Holiday best!
