51³Ô¹Ï

Christmas traditions at 51³Ô¹Ï continue this year, with protocols in place to ensure safe, in-person experiences, including cultural events. As part of its “Making Spirits Bright” Christmas event series, 51³Ô¹Ï is offering three holiday concerts, which are free and open to the public. Masking protocols must be followed at in-person events. 

Concerts include: 

• Chamber Singers Holiday Concert, Sunday, December 5, 4 p.m., at the Marian Chapel. This performance will include the famous "Alleluia" by Randall Thompson, the popular setting of "Lux Aurumque" by Eric Whitacre, and Carol Barnett's spectacular "Hodie," as well as carol settings and other sacred and secular music by American composers.
  
  
• Guitar Ensemble: Holiday Concert for a Global Community, Wednesday, December 8, 7 p.m., at the Marian Chapel. This concert is being produced in partnership with 51³Ô¹Ï’s Center for Global Engagement. During the concert, hear a musical holiday message that 51³Ô¹Ï President Sister Mary Persico IHM wrote especially for the event, spoken by the student musicians in several different languages.
  
  
• String Project Holiday Gala Concert, Thursday, December 9, 6:30 p.m., at the Sette LaVerghetta Center for Performing Arts. This concert features the children and student teachers from 51³Ô¹Ï's String Project. They will be playing music from around the world and some holiday music to welcome in the season.
