Guest conductor Constantine Kitsopoulos said, “It’s a feel-good film, and it’s great for the holidays. The other thing is that we’re adjusting to the COVID-19 pandemic, and this movie has a little extra meaning because of its sense of family and the importance of home. It’s even more sentimental this year.”.
