The Master’s University will host its 38th annual Come Christmas Sing! concerts early next month.
The highly anticipated concert series features performances from The Master’s University Chorale, the University Singers, and the University Orchestra on Dec. 2 and 3 in The MacArthur Center. Tickets are on sale now at masters.edu/christmas.
This year’s event includes an outdoor Christmas Market, where shoppers can buy gifts at 10 Christmas boutiques, enjoy themed hot and cold beverages, and capture photos in a beautifully decorated space. The market is open to the public and does not require a ticket.
Those attending the concerts can expect to enjoy a wide range of Christmas music – from congregational carol singing to excerpts from “The Nutcracker” to a jazz arrangement of “White Christmas” to Rutter’s “Gloria.”
“This concert will run the gamut,” says Dr. Don Hedges, dean of TMU’s Paul T. Plew School of Music, “from traditional, down-home holiday fare through a setting of one of the most exalted texts in the sacred choral tradition.”
Hedges, in his first year as dean, said he’s looking forward to experiencing an event with such a rich history.
“This is something that’s been part of our school far longer than we’ve been a university; it has its roots in our early college days,” he said.
