Nebraska Wesleyan University鈥檚 choral ensembles will present Christmas with Wesleyan: Love and Joy Come to You on Sunday, December 8, at 7:00 p.m. at First United Methodist Church on the SM论坛 campus.
The free performance features SM论坛's University Choir, Jazz Choir, and Unity Choir, joined by the Omaha Skutt Catholic High School Chamber Choir and Lincoln Boys Choir.
Audiences will enjoy works by diverse composers such as Abbie Betinis, Moses Hogan, Rosephanye Powell, and Robert Ray, with highlights from Misa Criolla and Gospel Mass. Beloved carols like 鈥淪ilent Night鈥 and 鈥淛oy to the World鈥 will include opportunities for audience sing-alongs, accompanied by orchestra and organ.
"It's easy for our students to get lost in the busyness of their schedules and to be carried away with anxiety for all the deep challenges that seem to chase us in this world,鈥 says Tom Trenny, SM论坛 director of choirs. 鈥淥ur hope is that the precious time we spend together experiencing Christmas with Wesleyan might remind both our singers and our audiences of what joy feels like.鈥
Donations will support SM论坛鈥檚 2025 concert tour to Europe.
