NEPA Philharmonic To Present The Snowman in Concert

The NEPA Philharmonic is excited to present The Snowman™ in Concert, presented by Magic93, on Saturday, December 20th at 7PM at the F.M. Kirby Center in Wilkes-Barre: a NEW enchanting holiday event perfect for audiences of all ages! Two beloved and heartwarming animated short films, The Snowman™ and The Snowman & The Snowdog™ will be shown on the big screen while the Philharmonic performs the full accompaniment music LIVE, bringing the magical tale of a young boy and his snowman to life with rich, cinematic sound.

Enhancing the festive spirit of the evening, the performance, under the direction of Music Director Mélisse Brunet, will feature guest vocal soloists from Marywood University—soprano Jocelyn Meyer, mezzo-soprano Beatrice Chindemi, and bass Marcel Sinclair—along with a special appearance by dancers from Scranton Civic Ballet and visits from Mr. and Mrs. Claus themselves! In addition to the films, the program will include joyful holiday sing-alongs, inviting families and community members to raise their voices together in seasonal favorites.

“We are thrilled to bring this cherished holiday experience to our community,” says Executive Director, Chason Goldschmitz. “The combination of live orchestra, film, dance, singing, and family-friendly holiday fun makes this one of the most magical events of the season!”

Additionally, the NEPA Philharmonic is excited to partner for this concert with Silent Sound Systems to provide sensory- and deaf-accessible accommodations to recipients of the Philharmonic’s Angel Ticket program, which harnesses community support into free concert tickets to individuals in need across the community, distributed via local nonprofits. Silent Sound Systems will also have live demonstrations of their BASSpak and headphones for all audience members, in the lobby before the concert and at intermission.

The NEPA Philharmonic’s 2025-2026 season is presented by PNC, with the Movie series presented by the Thalenfeld Family Foundation and the Pops series presented by Dr. Seth & Carolyn Fisher. The Snowman™ in Concert is presented by Magic93, with additional support from Highmark Blue Cross, Munley Law, and Silent Sound Systems.
