Stage and screen star Vanessa Williams will be the featured guest artist. Keith Lockhart conducts the famed orchestra.

Inspired by the event's 12-12-12 date, a "Twelve Days of Christmas" theme will run throughout the evening. This year's event will also pay tribute to Jim Cleary, a co-founder of A Company Christmas at Pops.

The evening will begin at 6 PM with a pre-concert reception, followed by a gourmet boxed dinner available at 7 PM and the concert in Symphony Hall at 8 PM.

The revenue raised through this event helps support the BSO’s Education and Community Engagement programs throughout the year.

Ticket packages, including cocktails, dinner, concert tickets and recognition in the evening's program book, are still available starting at $5,500. Call Thayer Surette at (617) 638-9272 for more information. A limited number of concert-only tickets are also available for public sale through the BSO box office, online at bostonpops.org, and by calling (888) 266-1200 starting on Nov. 16.
