John Dally, chair of the university’s music department and director of NOEL, described the event as “a special tradition for our University and community, marking the beginning of the Christmas season.” He said it offers “an opportunity to come together and celebrate the joy, hope and wonder of Christ’s birth” (Psalm 133:1).
The concert will include traditional Christmas classics as well as new inspirational music. This is the production’s thirteenth year, and it will feature more than 200 musicians from the university’s top ensembles. The groups listed are NNU Frequency, Bella Voce, Chamber Choir, University Choir and University Youth Choir, along with instrumental ensembles.
