The students at Sistema Miramichi played in the festive season Friday night during their annual Holiday Concert.

The theatre at James M. Hill High School was packed nearly to capacity as parents, family and the wider community gathered to take in the mix of classical pieces and holiday favourites.

Throughout the evening, the theatre was full of wonderful harmonies as various sections of the Sistema program took to the stage, organized into the Corelli String Orchestra, conducted by Nathalie Bohorquez, the Beethoven String Orchestra, and the Miramichi Chamber Orchestra, both conducted by Carlos Armao.
