the paramount theaterThe Oratorio Society of Virginia will present their Christmas at the Paramount concert on Dec. 17 with two shows. The concerts will be held at 2:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.

Music Director Michael Slon and 80 of the community’s finest singers will come together for this beloved Charlottesville holiday tradition.

Tickets to the holiday concert are $10 for students or range from $29-$54 for adults.
