Ring in 2026 with 'The Music of James Bond'

From Reading Symphony Orchestra

The Reading Symphony Orchestra invites music lovers to celebrate New Year’s Eve in style with The Music of James Bond performed by a live orchestra, a spectacular concert on Wednesday, Dec. 31, at 7:30 p.m., at the Santander Performing Arts Center, 136 N. 6th St., Reading. Tickets start at just $25.00.

Under the baton of Music Director Andrew Constantine, the orchestra will be joined by celebrated vocalist Morgan James for an unforgettable evening dedicated to the timeless music of James Bond and cinema favorites.

A night of glamour, nostalgia, and cinematic magic

Attendees can expect a sweeping selection of iconic songs drawn from more than five decades of Bond films — from the soaring ballads of Shirley Bassey to the touching classics of Carly Simon and the stirring anthems of Adele and Paul McCartney. The program promises a journey through romance, adventure, and cinematic grandeur.

With Morgan James’s classically trained voice and Broadway-honed stage presence — demonstrated in her previous performances with major orchestras across the country — this concert is poised to deliver an elegant and emotionally resonant New Year’s Eve experience.

Shaken, not stirred, and unforgettable!

More than just a concert — A complete New Year’s Eve experience

In addition to world-class music, RSO is partnering with the nearby DoubleTree by Hilton Reading to offer a special New Year’s Eve getaway. The offer includes an overnight stay for two, breakfast, complimentary parking, and shuttle service to and from the concert, plus access to a post-concert reception. Guests also have the option to dine at Cheers Bistro at the DoubleTree.

This makes the evening ideal not only for concert-goers but also for couples and friends looking for a festive, turnkey way to ring in 2026.

Join the RSO after the concert at the DoubleTree Reading to ring in the New Year with friends and fellow music lovers.
