“For many, Advent and Christmas celebrations begin with Whitworth’s Christmas Festival Concert,” says Marc A. Hafso, professor of music and director of choral activities at Whitworth. “There’s something for all musical tastes in this concert—which tells an ‘old, old story’ of unconditional love.”
The concert theme, “Come, All Ye Faithful,” will be elevated through choral works, readings, and traditional carols for audience and choirs. Presented without interruption, the concert will be concluded by candlelight.
The Whitworth Choir and Whitworth Chamber Singers will perform under the direction of Hafso and Deborah Hansen, associate director of choral activities and chair of the music department. Hansen will also direct the Whitworth Women’s Choir. Scott Miller, director of voice studies, will direct the Whitworth Men’s Chorus. John Bodinger will serve as organist. Mary Trotter will serve as accompanist.
Located in Spokane, Wash., Whitworth is a private liberal arts university affiliated with the Presbyterian church. The university, which has an enrollment of 3,000 students, offers 60 undergraduate and graduate degree programs.
