Thomas Holm, professor of music at Northwestern. “While most kings are born in a lofty setting,
the greatest king of all had a most humble birth.”
The concert will include performances by the Brass Choir, Women’s Choir, a Cappella Choir,
Chamber Orchestra and Handbell Choir, in addition to Scripture readings by Northwestern students.
The concert will close with candle lighting.
“The Vespers program actually combines elements of a concert with a service, as the entire
evening focuses on the Christ child and his arrival,” said Holm.
Throughout the concert, the audience will also be invited to sing a variety of Christmas carols,
including “O Come, All Ye Faithful,” “Away in a Manger,” “Silent Night” and “Joy to the World.”
