The Winter Texan Orchestra will be presenting a Christmas Concert on Sunday, December 15, at Texas Trails RV Resort, 501 W. Owassa Road, Pharr. This free concert is open to the public and will begin at 3 p.m.

The symphony orchestra will perform the same program on Tuesday, December 17, at Tip O’ Texas RV Resort, 101 E. Sioux Road, Pharr, at 2 p.m.
This hour-long concert will feature favorite Christmas tunes, and a door prize will be given at each venue.

The Winter Texan Orchestra is made up of primarily Winter Texans, although some locals have joined in recent years, many of whom are music teachers. A few of the music teachers have taken the opportunity to include some of their own students. The group currently consists of both young people and senior citizens. A few of the members have been performing with the group since its onset nearly 30 years ago.

The orchestra practices every Wednesday from 9 to 11 a.m. in the Main Hall at the Tip O’ Texas RV Resort in Pharr. Rehearsals begin mid-November every year and continue through mid-March of the following year. The music is primarily classical music, and concerts are offered six times throughout the months when Winter Texans are in the Valley. The concerts are always free and open to the public.
