Holiday music for children doesn't have to stop at "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus." This season the Elan Circle of the Dallas Symphony Orchestra League presents its 18th annual concert called Deck the Hall: A Celebration of Music for Children, featuring Rebecca Frezza and her eight-member Big Truck Band, a favorite on PBS and NOGGIN. Carly Patterson, Olympic gold-winning gymnast and an up-and-coming singer, will be the honorary chairperson for the fund-raising event, which benefits the DSO's education and community programs for youngsters. Bring a new, unwrapped toy for the Navidad in the Neighborhood annual toy drive. Events begin in the lobby at 9:30 a.m. with performances by young musicians, a magician, crafts and photos with Santa Claus. You can even eat breakfast with Santa at 9 a.m! The concert begins at 11 a.m.; tickets are $10 to $40. Breakfast with Santa tickets (which include the concert) are $65 for adults and $35 for children under 10. The festivities take place Saturday in the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center, 2301 Flora St. Call 214-692-0203 or visit dallassymphony.com.
