Celebrate the Holidays at the Moss Cultural Arts Center in December with festive performances

The holiday magic kicks into high gear with The Nutcracker on Saturday, December 6, at 7 p.m., and Sunday, December 7, at 3 p.m. Presented by The Moss Center and Miami Youth Ballet, this holiday classic recounts a young girl’s dreamy journey to the Land of Sweets, accompanied by the Sugarplum Fairy and other enchanting characters. Featuring students from Miami Youth Ballet alongside professional dancers, this beautifully staged production pairs captivating storytelling with Tchaikovsky’s majestic score to dazzle children and adults alike. Ticket prices range from $36 to $51 and can be purchased here.

Following the holiday favorite is ‘Twas the Night Before Christmason Sunday, December 14, at 4 p.m. Under the direction of Associate Conductor James K. Bass, Grammy-nominated vocal ensemble Seraphic Fire presents a program of cherished carols, including “O Come All Ye Faithful,” “Silent Night,” and “Jesus Christ the Apple Tree.” This performance also features a reading of the 1823 American poem, A Visit from St. Nicholas, more commonly known as ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas. The ensemble performs the entire concert a cappella, setting the stage for an evening of reflection and peace. Tickets are available for $30 to $65 and can be purchased here.
