It’s time to ring in the holiday season with The Hanover Theatre and Conservatory for the Performing Arts!

This stunning quartet of vocalists led by Worcester native, Steve Gagliastro, will be spreading good cheer around Worcester county at a wide array of events, including The City of Worcester’s Annual Festival of Lights, Grafton Celebrates the Holidays, Mercantile Holiday Lunch, Wachusett Mountain’s Polar Express and many more!
