Russ Lorenson: Christmas in San Francisco: The 20th Anniversary Celebration · San Francisco · Dec 4, 2026

Christmas in San Francisco: The 20th Anniversary Celebration For one night only, Russ Lorenson returns to Feinsteins at the Nikko to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of What I Want For Christmas, the holiday album that introduced his signature recording of Christmas in San Francisco, a song that has become a beloved Bay Area holiday tradition. Hosted by longtime friend and acclaimed entertainer Terese Genecco, this intimate evening is part holiday celebration, part reunion, and part behind-the-scenes look at one of the Bay Areas enduring Christmas traditions.Rather than a traditional cabaret performance, audiences will experience the stories behind the music through conversation, rare archival video, and curated listening as Russ and Terese revisit the friendships, recording sessions, and memories that shaped the original album and the remarkable journey that led to its newly expanded and remastered 20th Anniversary Edition. The evening culminates in a special presentation of the newly reimagined recording of Christmas in San Francisco. Rather than a simple remaster, the song has been transformed from an intimate piano-and-vocal performance into a lush, fully orchestrated recording worthy of the city whose holiday magic it celebrates. Guests at Feinsteins will be among the first anywhere to hear this beautiful new version. There could be no more fitting place to celebrate its next chapter than the city that inspired it.
