ÐÔ°®ÌìÌà Holiday Traditions To Continue Via Virtual Performances
Enjoy Vespers, handbell ensemble, and Symphony performances virtually beginning Dec. 6

Celebrating the holidays has always been a beloved tradition at ÐÔ°®ÌìÌÃ. It has been a time for beautiful music, meditation, and the coming together of good friends before they make their way back home for the holidays and begin the culmination of the fall semester. 

These time-honored celebrations include the century-old Vespers Service and the Christmas Concert featuring the ÐÔ°®ÌìÌà Symphony Orchestra, handbell ensemble, and choir — which come to a grand finale with informal celebrations at the historic homes of the University president and leadership on Oakmont Court. 

This year may be different in that we have had to rethink how we’ve done things on campus, but as the saying goes: the show will go on!

To keep our students, faculty, staff, and other members of the ÐÔ°®ÌìÌà community safe during this pandemic, ÐÔ°®ÌìÌà has had to rework its traditions. Though Christmas on Oakmont visits may have to wait until 2021, the rest of the show will go on—virtually! 

Enjoy three musical performances and Vespers service virtually on Tiger Network. View the schedule below.
