Concert Highlights
About the Event
Rediscover the magic of Christmas in symphonic style.
The United Soloists Orchestra invites you on a musical journey into the heart of the holiday season, featuring cinematic emotions and the timeless classics that have always accompanied the most magical time of the year.
Please note: this is a concert performance, not a screening of the film – the movie itself will not be shown. The orchestra performs John Williams’ Home Alone score live, in a purely instrumental arrangement.
Part One: Home Alone Relive the unforgettable music of John Williams from the Home Alone soundtrack – the film that has defined Christmas for generations for over thirty years. From the moving Star of Bethlehem to the adrenaline of The Attack on the House, to the touching finale with Mom’s return: every note will transport you back to the McCallister house.
Part Two: A Hollywood Christmas The orchestra transforms, embracing the pop, jazz, and big band sounds of Hollywood’s greatest Christmas classics. From Frank Sinatra to Michael Bublé, from Mariah Carey to Wham! – the songs that fill the airwaves, movies, and homes around the world, now in a rich and enveloping orchestral setting.
A concert for the whole family, perfect for getting into the Christmas spirit.

About the Orchestra
Described by the press as "the ensemble that revolutionizes music in Europe" (Ticino Welcome), the United Soloists Orchestra is a Swiss symphonic ensemble founded in 2017. It unites young virtuoso soloists drawn from Europe's most prestigious institutions — among them the Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich, Teatro alla Scala and the Royal Concertgebouw.
Their performances have been called an "explosion of life" (laRegione) — combining the highest technical level with a warm, generous, deeply expressive sound. As the media wrote: "It is not just music: it is magic!" (Ticino Welcome)
Under the musical direction of Arseniy Shkaptsov, the orchestra has one simple belief: that no one should ever feel that this music is "not for them." Tonight, it's for you.
