THE HOLIDAYS WITH JINGLE ALL THE WAY,
PRESENTED BY ENSEMBLE ARTS PHILLY
AT THE MILLER THEATER FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY,
DECEMBER 12, 2025
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (October 28, 2025) – Ensemble Arts Philly presents GRAMMY® Award-winning jazz fusion band Béla Fleck and the Flecktones in Jingle All The Way at the Miller Theater on December 12, 2025, at 7:30 p.m. Jingle All the Way is a reunion tour featuring the quartet's beloved tunes along with reinvented jazz-infused holiday classics from their GRAMMY® winning album by the same name.
Performing this music together for the first time in over 15 years, the band reunites for a uniquely unforgettable evening as founding members Fleck, Wooten, Wooten & Levy take the stage alongside former Flecktones bandmate and saxophonist, Jeff Coffin, and Tuvan throat singing ensemble, Alash – all of whom appeared on the studio album.
Banjoist Béla Fleck, harmonica and keyboardist Howard Levy, bassist Victor Wooten, and percussionist / “drummitarist” Roy “Future Man” Wooten have been creating some of the most forward-thinking music throughout their remarkable careers. Drawing from a vast array of genres – from classical and jazz to bluegrass, African music, electric blues, and Eastern European folk – their sound is impossible to define. It’s a unique musical language forged by the union of four brilliant minds, each contributing something distinct to the whole.
“The Flecktones genre-bend in the best way, coming together to craft the perfect gift for us this holiday season – a reunion featuring performances of some of their holiday favorites,” said Frances Egler, Vice President of Programming and Presentations. “Their one-night-only performance is part of a robust holiday celebration, alongside traditions like The Philadelphia Orchestra’s Glorious Sound of Christmas and Handel’s Messiah, a visit from ‘The Queens of Christmas’ Jinkx Monsoon and BenDeLaCreme, Saturday Night Live’s Ana Gasteyer and her Sugar & Booze Holiday Spectacular, and so much more.”
“Christmas music is inside everyone's DNA,” says Fleck. “Jingle All the Way is an open doorway for listeners to understand the Flecktones' music.”
Hitting number one on the Top Contemporary Jazz chart and earning the 2009 GRAMMY® for Best Pop Instrumental Album, Jingle All the Way is a playful and innovative take on often cliché holiday tunes – whether it’s “The Twelve Days of Christmas” performed in 12 different keys and 12 different time signatures over the course of the tune, or a medley of five Christmas tunes being played together, simultaneously.
