The San Antonio Symphony wants to get you in the holiday mood. For two nights in December, the symphony will be presenting their "Holiday Pops" concert, which will be filled with the sounds of the season.

The program for the concert includes holiday favorites such as "Silent Night," "Santa's Sleigh Ride," "White Christmas," "Rudolph," and "Bells and Holly," according to the symphony's Web site. There will also be a musical rendition of "The Night Before Christmas."

The symphony will be led by conductor Ken-David Masur, a native of Germany who began his musical training at the age of 6, according to the Web site. As the Resident Conductor for the 2009-10 season, he will conduct 24 performances in the San Antonio Symphony's Young People's Concert Series alone, as well as four performances in the Family Classics series, the 70th Anniversary Celebration Concert and assorted other concerts throughout the season.

The "Holiday Pops" Concert will be at 8 p.m. Dec. 18-19 at the San Antonio Municipal Auditorium.

Tickets range from $10 to $80 and are available at www.ticketmaster.com or by calling 1-800-745-3000. For more information, go to www.sasymphony.org.
