Holiday Concerts

The end of each fall semester at UGA is punctuated by a musical spectacular marking the unoffical beginnig of the holiday season: The Holiday Concerts:

The University of Georgia Holiday Concerts, a tradition of the Athens community, returns Nov. 29-30 at 8 p.m. in Hodgson Hall.

 

The concerts bring together the UGA Symphony Orchestra and choral ensembles under the baton of Professor Mark Cedel. The nearly 300 student singers and instrumentalists will lead an evening of selections that include new and familiar seasonal songs and an audience sing-along.

"The concerts have become a staple of the holiday season and remain some of our most popular performances each year," said Dale Monson, director of the UGA Hugh Hodgson School of Music. "The joyful choral and orchestral music we bring to the halls each year-much of it known and familiar-rekindles the cheer and goodwill we all feel around the holidays."

Look for fantastic choral and orchestra music from the combined forces of the two largest ensembles in the school of music, plus a little fun to along with. Not to be missed.
