Berea College’s Annual Christmas Concert Will Be Performed on December 7 & 8

The annual Christmas Concert, co-sponsored by the Berea College Music Department and the Campus Christian Center, will be held on two consecutive nights this year – Friday evening December 7 and Saturday evening December 8. Both performances will begin at 7:30 p.m. in Union Church. All are invited to attend this popular event and to join in the singing of traditional carols accompanied by College Organist Dr. Javier Clavere. Music of the season will be performed by the college’s Black Music Ensemble, Bluegrass Music Ensemble, Concert Choir, Chamber Singers, Wind Ensemble, Jazz Ensemble, Clavere Piano Duo, and Women’s Chorus. As patrons arrive, the Megasax Quartet, and the Old-Tyme Ensemble will perform Christmas music beginning thirty minutes before the concert. Plan to attend this joyful candlelit Christmas celebration to usher in Berea’s Christmas Season! A special holiday reception with light refreshments will take place immediately after Friday night’s performance.

Free tickets for admission will be issued again this year to guarantee that all patrons will have a seat at the concert. The tickets will be available during business hours at five campus locations: the Alumni Building Front Desk, the Berea College Bookstore, the Campus Christian Center office, the Union Church office, and the Music Program office. The doors to the church will open to the public at 7 p.m. each night with pre-service music beginning at that time. Although admission is free, tickets are required due to limited seating.
