FORT WAYNE — Fort Wayne Philharmonic is touring the region with three Holiday Pops concerts including one in Warsaw on Wednesday.

The concert will be at the Warsaw Performing Arts Center at 7:30 p.m., Wednesday, Dec. 11. This Warsaw event is free and no tickets are needed.

The show can also be seen in Wabash and Steuben County, but those are ticketed events with admission.

Conducted by the Philharmonic’s Youth Education and Family Concert Conductor Troy Webdell, these much-anticipated concerts feature a great mix of traditional and popular holiday music such as Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, O Holy Night, as well as the always popular Christmas Carol Sing-Along.

“There is something for everyone to enjoy! I feel like Santa Claus during our Holiday Pops
runout concert season, delivering a wide variety of cherished holiday music to be unwrapped by the ears of the communities we visit!” said Webdell.
