The annual Crane School of Music holiday celebration performances are a major highlight of the Crane concert season, attracting hundreds of concertgoers each year, said a press release from Crane.

The holiday concert tradition began in the 1930s, at what was then the Crane Institute of Music at Potsdam Normal School, and has continued to grow in prominence ever since.
