Since 2016, Tosco Music has gathered the Charlotte community for a festive concert each December for Tosco Music Holiday Party, transforming Knight Theater into Charlotte's living room for an evening of holiday songs and singalongs.

As with all Tosco Music Parties, the evening features an eclectic mix of more than a dozen diverse performers and plenty of singalongs. 

Enjoy your favorite holiday tunes, classic and contemporary songs of the season, delivered in a variety of musical genres. Come experience the joy of community through music for the holidays!

Great for all ages - bring the kids, and grandparents too!

SEE WHAT'S
COMING UP

  • The music parties are an indie-music institution in Charlotte, so popular they often fill a 1,200-seat hall, with a roster of performers that has included everyone from American Idol contestants to The Avett Brothers.

  • What started 20 years ago as a jam session in John Tosco’s living room has bloomed into one of the region’s most unique regional events – and a coveted gig for unsigned artists.

  • A Tosco Music Party is a theatre in the round of sorts for acoustic musicians. It's a medium that breaks down artificial barriers between entertainers and audience.

  • Maybe you’ve never heard the new folk trio out of Chapel Hill or the dulcimer player from Appalachia. Maybe you’ll marvel over a double-necked guitar solo or a 13-year-old classical pianist. Whatever you’re seeking, this incredible, quarterly variety show will make you grateful to have John Tosco curating your musical adventure.

  • Think of Tosco Music Party as the musical equivalent of walking into Ben & Jerry's and saying: 'I'd like a spoonful of everything, please.'
