About The Concert
With a score composed and arranged by Bob Christianson and book and lyrics by Alisa Hauser, A Christmas Carol: The Concert tells the timeless Dickens tale with sweeping orchestral score, chorus and a small group of principal singer/actors.
The concert is both symphonic and theatrical and may be produced simply with simple lighting and “indicated” costumes or as a more fully-realized gala Concert Event.
A Christmas Carol: The Concert enjoyed a highly successful United Kingdom tour and an Emmy-nominated PBS television special, and is now available for licensing for productions anywhere in the world.
