The **Serrano Theatre in Gandia** will host the first of the three concerts planned by the Philharmonic Orchestra for this Christmas, starting at 19:00. Conducted by **Hilari Garcia Gázquez**, the university ensemble will perform Carl Nielsen’s suite from ‘Aladdin’ (op. 34), a selection from Aram Khachaturian’s ‘Masquerade’ and ‘Tres cançons populars nadalenques’ (“Three popular Christmas songs”) by Pascual Martínez.

On Wednesday 20 at 19:30, the Orchestra will return to the José Iturbi Hall of the **Palau de la Música of Valencia** to perform a concert especially dedicated to children, in which they will be accompanied by the academy **Cordes Espai Educatiu**, as well as by children from the **Coral School of L’Eliana****,** **the Orfeó Valencià Infantil****, the Coral School Veus Juntes of Quart de Poblet****, the Music School Camp de Morvedre** and the **La Nau UV Coral School**.
