Sounds of the Holiday Season with the Westchester Band  presented by the Scarsdale Public Library and Scarsdale Parks and Conservation

The Scarsdale Public Library and Scarsdale Parks, Recreation & Conservation are delighted to co-present a special holiday concert series featuring the beloved Westchester Band, known for its uplifting performances that bring together generations of music lovers.

Audiences are invited to celebrate the season with an evening of joyful music -both sacred and secular - performed by a talented ensemble of professional, amateur, and student musicians. Under the direction of Alan Hollander, the Westchester Band has been a cherished part of the Village community since 1969, best known for its free “Concerts Under the Stars” each summer.

The holiday concerts will take place on Thursday, December 11 and Thursday, December 18, featuring the same program on both dates. Doors will open to concert goers at 6:30 PM, following regular library hours.

Unlike regular library programs, this event is ticketed, with admission at $30 per person. Tickets may be purchased online at scarsdale.gov/catalog. All are welcome to attend - residency in the Village is not required. For ticketing questions, please contact Susan Oricchio at 914-722-1160 at Scarsdale Parks, Recreation, and Conservation.

“We’re thrilled to welcome the Westchester Band to the Library for this festive celebration,” said Beth Bermel, Library Director. “Their music has been part of our community’s story for generations, and this concert is a wonderful opportunity for neighbors, friends, and families to come together and share in the joy of the season.”

To add to the festive atmosphere, seasonal bites, beverages, and lite fare will be available for purchase from the Boleria Brazilian Bakery at the library. Concertgoers are invited to arrive early to enjoy a warm drink or a holiday treat before the music begins.
