A Carol of Lights Performance Returns to the Spotlight | |
|
Last month in December, we helped orchestrate a Christmas miracle to bring back the enchanting performance of Annie Chalex Boyle's "O Holy Night" during the 65th Annual Carol of Lights.
Technical glitches prevented event attendees and broadcast viewers from hearing the grand performance during the event, but thanks to a collaboration between Texas Tech Public Media, the Texas Tech School of Music, and pianist Mark Lowrey, we were able to present Annie’s performance the way it was meant to be heard during our rebroadcast of the 65th Annual Carol of Lights on December 8, 2023.
Read all about the magic in our blog post.
