INDIANAPOLIS— The Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra is pleased to announce that Grammy Award winner Sandi Patty will host the 2024 AES Indiana Yuletide Celebration, December 6-23, at Hilbert Circle Theatre downtown.
Principal Pops Conductor Jack Everly will serve as music director, and other special guests will be announced later this summer. This will be Sandi’s tenth and final year serving as host of the AES Indiana Yuletide Celebration. Her first time hosting was in 2000.
As one of the most highly acclaimed performers of our time with five Grammy® awards, four Billboard Music Awards, three platinum records, five gold records, and eleven million units sold, Sandi Patty is simply known as “The Voice.”
Sandi is the most awarded female vocalist in contemporary Christian music history, with 40 Dove Awards. She was inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame in 2004 and as an Indiana Living Legend in 2007. She has released over 30 albums, including her latest album, Everlasting, exclusively at Target Stores through Somerset, Ltd. Everlasting features notable hymns and songs of worship in an intimate and acoustic setting. Her debut full-length symphonic pops album Broadway Stories, conducted by Maestro Jack Everly, was released on October 18, 2011, to rave reviews.
“I am beyond thrilled, excited, and honored to be with the ISO, my favorite Maestro Jack Everly, and to be the host of AES Indiana Yuletide Celebration this year,” says Patty. “It has been a highlight of my entire career to serve as host for this incredible holiday experience.”
