Ring in the season with a Christmas celebration that is sure to warm the heart and lift your holiday spirit! This year's program will feature the world premiere of critically acclaimed composer J.A.C. Redford's A Christmas Invitation, a three-movement work composed for PLU's Choir of the West, University Chorale, and University Symphony Orchestra.

The choirs and orchestra also will premiere December: A Meditation on Advent, composed by PLU Professor of Music Greg Youtz. The piece features a number of familiar advent hymns that are used frequently in Lutheran and many other Christian Advent celebrations. The work serves as a way to connect with the rich tradition of Lutheran hymnody.
