For many the celebration of Christmas is not complete without experiencing the beautiful music of the season and reliving the miraculous nativity story. In December 2013, Biola University ushers in a new tradition with a Christmas festival of sacred music, scripture, and pageantry that will inspire the entire family as we come together to celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. A bit reminiscent of a former Biola tradition “Celebrate the Son,” the concert will feature over 200 musicians and vocalists from the Biola Conservatory of Music including: King's Men, Biola Women's Chorus, Biola Chorale, Symphonic Winds, Biola Symphony Orchestra, as well as performers from the Biola Dramatic Arts Program and a living nativity. Baritone Richard Zeller will be featured as a soloist and narrator of the event. The Southern California Children’s Chorus has also been invited to perform as special guest artists for the festival. Don’t miss this spiritually enriching event.
