The holiday season at Carnegie Mellon is merry and bright when the university's philharmonic and choirs join together to perform the Holiday Concert.
The annual favorite, conducted by Maria Sensi Sellner, interim director of choirs, will feature holiday classics such as Irving Berlin's "White Christmas" and other well-known festive music.
"The holiday concerts have been a gift to the community for more than 60 years, and it's our pleasure to be part of this annual tradition," said School of Music Head Denis Colwell.
The program will include Bach's "Cantata Jauchzet Frolocket" and "Dona Nobis Pacem" from "Mass in B Minor."
In addition, it also will include seasonal selections such as the "Wexford Carol," Holst's "Wassail Song," Finzi's "In Terra Pax" and Bernstein's "Chichester Psalms."
Each of the concerts will be webcast live at music.cmu.edu/pages/webcasting.
For the second year, TIAA-CREF is serving as sponsor of the Holiday Concert.
