2009 Carols
O Come All Ye Faithful, Star in the East
One Day Shall Dawn, What Sweeter Music
Angels we have heard on high, Go Tell it on the Mountain
Go Where I Send Thee, The Crimson Drum
Deck the Halls, The Twelve Days of Christmas
For God Commanded Angels to Watch Over Thee
Still, Still Night, and many more
The Festival of Carols marks the beginning of the Advent and Christmas seasons for the campus community and for families from all across Michigan. Performances play to standing-room-only audiences and attract a family audience that returns year after year.
Festival of Carols 2008
The Festival of Carols is not a worship service; rather it is a community celebration welcoming people of all faiths for a concert of familiar carols and sacred masterpieces that are part of our shared heritage. The concert attracts an audience that is looking for a chance to slow down and be reminded of the peace and wonder of Christmas.
The 180 members of the Glee Club, Chorale and The Alma Choir are joined by student instrumentalists from the College's marvelous Percussion Ensemble and Symphony Orchestra. Choral singing is the centerpiece of the Festival of Carols, and audiences will know many of the carols by heart.
