Guest Artist Spotlight: John Lawless

We are honored to welcome back our longtime friend and guest artist, John Lawless, whose artistry and joyful spirit have enriched our concerts for many years. John’s percussion work brings color, energy, and brilliance to every performance — and Christmas 2026 is no exception.

This season we have commissioned a brand new, light-hearted piece just for him: "Jolly Old St. Nicholas," a playful percussion feature filled with character, surprises, and festive fun. We can’t wait for you to experience John’s extraordinary musicianship once again at our 2026 "Love Is on the Way" concerts.
