The Chicago Jazz Orchestra performs the authentic edition of Tchaikovsky's "Nutcracker Suite," as arranged in 1960 by Billy Strayhorn and Duke Ellington, assembled from the original manuscripts held in the Strayhorn Repository and the Ellington Collection of the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History.

The second part of the concert will feature Elvis tribute artist Victor Trevino Jr. performing holiday favorites from Elvis's best-selling Christmas album. Victor Trevino Jr. portrayed Elvis in the hit show ‘Elvis Lives,’ the only touring Elvis show officially licensed and endorsed by Graceland.
