This will be our big piece to finish off the concert and will feature the Wind Symphony, Orchestra, and various choirs. It is so rewarding and almost magical to put something like this together with all of the ensembles in the Department of Music. This concert has something for everyone. It will be a fantastic night of music and is the perfect way to ring in your holiday celebrations.”
