The holidays aren’t just about opening presents with family, wearing flashy sweaters, or hitting the ice for some skiing. The Christmas spirit also shines in all its glory through the ever‑welcome carols that never go out of style and bring with them all the charm of perhaps the happiest time of the year.
One way to experience this festive magic is through the Festival of Carols by the Los Angeles Master Chorale, a special event that makes Christmas feel even more enchanting. This 2025, the festival will take place on December 20 at the Walt Disney Concert Hall.
The festival is an entire afternoon of festive choral music that’s both uplifting and beautifully performed. This cheerful concert brings together world‑class vocal talent for a selection of beloved carols from around the globe. You’ll hear arrangements of classics from Jingle Bells to Angels We Have Heard on High.
Tickets for the event cover a wide range of budgets and preferences, with the cheapest ones starting at $70 with balcony seating, up to $179 at the upfront orchestra section.
