holidays from the heart

12/8/2018

Saturday, December 8, 2018 at 3pm - Windmill Library Theatre in Las Vegas, NV
Sunday, December 9, 2018 at 3pm - Rainbow Library Theatre in Las Vegas, NV

Kristen Hertzenberg and Philip Fortenberry perform music from their Christmas album, recorded in 2011. “Holidays from the Heart” is a delightful concert with a variety of Christmas songs encompassing pop, Broadway, jazz, gospel, and folk styles. The performance centers around a theme of giving and the idea that the spirit of Christmas is especially powerful when we embrace it year-round. The artists each brought unique song ideas to the table and in the end produced a musical journey including Harry Connick Jr.’s “I Pray On Christmas,” Melissa Manchester’s “There’s Still My Joy,” “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,” “O Holy Night,” and “Christmas Time is Here” from the beloved "A Charlie Brown Christmas."

Kristen started off 2018 on New Year's Day with a week aboard the Seabourn Odyssey in the Caribbean, performing two evenings of music. She also performed aboard the Celebrity Infinity in Antarctica and then again in Mexico.

In May, she had the great pleasure of joining old friends in a concert with the Abilene Philharmonic where she sang the music of Evita, Hello Dolly, Les Miserables, and South Pacific.

Over the summer, it was off to Alaska on the Celebrity Millennium. And then Quebec and Newfoundland aboard the Seabourn Quest.

Still ahead, she will perform for the guests of the Celebrity Equinox in the Southern Caribbean and the Seabourn Sojourn in French Polynesia and the Isles of the Southern Cross.

She will also perform concerts in Scottsdale, AZ and three in Las Vegas before the year is over, including a return to the Las Vegas Philharmonic for their Christmas Pops concert, "A Classic Holiday".
