Celebrate the winter holiday season with a plethora of styles and genres showcasing the highlights of the season. From the chill of Thornhill's Snowfall and Ellingboe's arrangement of In the Bleak Midwinter to the warmth of Conte's A Stable Lamp is Lighted and Hogan's version of This Little Light of Mine, temper the cold of the outdoors with the radiance and glow of Lumiatra's harmonies. Find comfort in old favorites like O Holy Night while discovering new excitement with Secret Santa, and let new classics such as Rachmaninoff's Bogorodiste Devo and Clausen's Nunc Dimittis bring you peace after Gibbon's frantic Hosanna to the Son of David and Thomas' rousing arrangement of Go Where I Send Thee stir your soul, and hear the first performance outside of Minnesota of Butler's Sweet Was the Song. Finish the evening in Portland's First Christian Church with the surreal calm of F.M. Christiansen's O Day Full of Grace, savoring the sounds and emotions of the joyous season.
