Portage la Prairie welcomes an annual Christmas favourite at the William Glesby Centre Wednesday evening.

Portage and District Arts Centre Executive Director Paul Legris explains, "PDAC is hosting the Manitoba Hydro Holiday tour with the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra. It's an annual event we do around Christmas time. It's very exciting and always brings in a large crowd. We have a sell-out crowd for this evening. It's fabulous to bring the world-renowned Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra to Portage la Prairie, and I'm really looking forward to this. This will be my first one here as executive director."

Legris says you can look forward to beautiful and sentimental, traditional Christmas music. Juno-nominated artists Erin Propp and Larry Roy will be here with conductor Julian Pellicano and the full orchestra.

The performance begins at 7:30 p.m.
