The program features a range of music celebrating the Christmas season, including Alfred Reed’s Greensleeves and Russian Christmas Music—a highly regarded piece in the canon of works for wind bands, a selection of seasonal favorites performed by the Campus-Community Band. Additionally, Jason Vander Brake, assistant professor of theatre arts at Dordt, will join the band for a narration of Gary Fry’s The Nativity.
According to Dr. Onsby Rose, director of instrumental activities at Dordt, this concert is an opportunity for attendees to “enjoy the work of our students to bring this music to the height of their abilities as well as to celebrate the coming Christmas season.”
The event is open to the public and free to attend.
