Whether you're listening to your favorite classics on the radio or your friendly neighborhood carolers, we want to be sure your ears are getting their fill of seasonal cheer. Instead of listening to “Jingle Bell Rock” and “Santa Baby” on repeat on the radio, check out these holiday concerts in Denver this month.
