Jim Brickman Calls His New Christmas Album: "A Dream Come True"

America's romantic piano sensation Jim Brickman has recorded a brand new album of Christmas songs with a symphony orchestra. The lush, grand, and beautiful album will also feature vocals from Tracy Silverman, Kelli O'Hara, Max Von Essen & Five For Fighting. A Christmas Symphony will be released on Oct 29.

"It has always been a dream of mine to record an album with a Symphony Orchestra. The timeless sounds of soaring strings, glorious woodwinds & brass, sparkling percussion and the beautiful harmony of all of those instruments coming to life together.

There's no better time than Christmas to celebrate with music, so I felt it was fitting to make my first orchestra album a holiday collection. This collection of songs is both traditional and contemporary, and features many of my favorite carols along with original compositions and star-studded vocal performances. This album is truly a labor of love. I hope you'll enjoy making it a part of your holiday season for many years to come."

Brickman is the best-selling solo pianist of our time earning 21 Number One albums and 32 Top 20 Radio Singles in the industry bible, "Billboard Magazine." He's garnered two Grammy nominations, gospel music's Dove Award, two SESAC Songwriter of the Year Awards, and the Canadian Country Music Award. He also has a music scholarship named for him by his alma mater, the prestigious Cleveland Institute of Music.
