| Holiday Events at the Herrett Center |

The Star of Bethlehem
transports audiences to ancient Palestine in search of clues from the writings of the times and what we know of the people inhabiting the region in an effort to discern whether any naturally occurring events in the sky might explain the mystery of the Christmas star. Just what did the wise men see that started them on their journey to find the baby Jesus?
Let It Snow!
will infuse audiences with the holiday spirit through classic Christmas songs like Let It Snow by Frank Sinatra, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer by Gene Autry, Winter Wonderland by Annie Lennox, Run Rudolph Run by Chuck Berry, and Jingle Bell Rock by Brenda Lee, to name a few. Accompanied by holiday visuals on the planetarium dome you just can't help but catch the holiday spirit!
The Longest Night: A Winter's Tale
is a modern day fable of a family of storytellers that travel from village to village telling tales. They arrive in one village on the longest night of the year to tell their tales. Alas, the villagers do not have much to share with their visitors prompting the young daughter to go on a simple quest. On the quest she meets a mysterious old woman with answers to her questions. The story relates the concept that winter is a time for the Earth to rest so that rebirth may come in spring.
In addition to the holiday shows, Lewis and Clark: Great Journey West, Back to the Moon for Good and Led Zeppelin will also be on the schedule for the Thanksgiving weekend.

| CSI Symphonic Band Concert |
December 1 at 7:30 p.m. in the CSI Fine Arts Auditorium
This concert, entitled A Merry, Scary(?) Christmas, offers a celebration of both Halloween and Christmas, classic concert band selections, and a Spanish-flavored march. In honor of the 50th anniversary of the founding of CSI, the program will open with a Spanish-style march, El Aguila de Oro (The Golden Eagle) by Jack Bullock. Settings of two chorale preludes by Johannes Brahms will follow, including Lo, How A Rose E'er Blooming and O God, Though Holy God. The band will then offer a very different chorale prelude, this the Chorale Prelude: So Pure the Star, by the 20th-century American composer Vincent Persichetti. The first half will close with a classic of the band literature, Ralph Vaughan Williams' English Folk Song Suite. The second half of the concert will open with some delightful music that recalls Halloween, the Galloping Ghosts Rag, by William Ryden. More in keeping with the upcoming holiday season, the band will then offer William Rhoads' quiet A Nativity Carol. Music by the English composer Frederick Delius, his Marche Caprice, will then follow. The programs continues with William Bolcom's Song, then concludes with music by composer Danny Elfman from the 1993 Tim Burton movie, The Nightmare Before Christmas. Admission to the concert is free, but donations to the CSI Music Scholarship Fund are appreciated. For more information, please contact Dr. Halsell at 208-732-6767 or
ghalsell@csi.edu.
