A Wesleyan Christmas: Letters to Santa
The Susan S. Goode Fine and Performing Arts Center will ring with Christmas cheer December 6-7 as the Virginia Wesleyan University Choirs present their first holiday concert in the new space. Dr. Bryson Mortensen, Assistant Professor of Music and Director of Choirs, is excited to share this heartfelt program, “A Wesleyan Christmas: Letters to Santa,” with the community.
“Christmas has always been special to me," he said, "and I looked for a way to bring back the nostalgia of it—happy memories, magical moments. I discovered this collection of letters to Santa, and they tell a really neat story about the ways we approach Christmas. They’ll be read by the singers in the concert. I tend to think of choral music as a form of storytelling so I’m always looking for stories that will engage the students and present a message worth sharing with an audience.”
The concerts will take place at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, December 6, and Saturday, December 7. Admission is $15 for adults and $10 for seniors, alumni, and students from other schools. It is free for the VWU community. Tickets may be purchased online at
vwu.tix.com
or at the door (cash only). Free tickets may be reserved at
