The Rob Mathes Holiday Concert

“This holiday production puts a new spin on Christmas classics.” The New York Times

Feeling a little “bah, humbug”? Take a break from the bustle of the holiday season with Rob Mathes and friends as they present their annual holiday extravaganza at The Purchase PAC. This high-energy mix of rock, jazz, and blues — original tunes and new spins on your favorite holiday classics — is sure to put you in the spirit of the season.

For the past 30+ years, arranger, composer, producer, director, and musician extraordinaire Rob Mathes has been ringing in the holiday season with a spectacular celebration that features Mathes, his all-star band, and a chorus of saints and friends.

Rob Mathes has worked with virtually every big name in the music industry, arranging, producing, directing, recording, and performing with the likes of Bono, Bennett, Sting, and Springsteen. But despite his busy schedule, he makes time for his fans, and it’s always a treat to have this Greenwich, CT, native “home” for the holidays.
