An Andy & Bing Christmas

When people are asked to name their favorite Christmas albums, two classics always rise to the top—The Andy Williams Christmas Album and Bing Crosby’s Merry Christmas. These timeless songs capture the warmth and magic of the holiday season like no others.

Join us for a spectacular night as Mick Sterling Presents brings these holiday favorites to life with a stunning 19-piece orchestra. Twin Cities favorites Mick Sterling and Wayne Anthony take the stage alongside choral singers led by Cate Fierro, a full string section, vibrant percussion and a powerful four-piece horn section.
