Symphony Orchestra and Choirs, “Alegría Navideña”

Celebrate the season with one of MSU’s most treasured musical traditions. The Symphony Orchestra joins Choral Union, State Singers, and University Chorale for Alegría Navideña (Christmas Joy), a program highlighting the spirit of the season through music sung in Spanish. Featured works include El Mesías (Handel’s Messiah, Part I) and Ariel Ramírez’s  Navidad Nuestra, rich with Latin American rhythms. Lee R. Kesselman’s world premiere of Festival of Lights offers a vibrant setting of English and Hebrew texts, and the evening concludes with a joyful audience sing-along. Conducted by Sandra Snow and Octavio Más-Arocas.

Generously sponsored by Barbara and Bill Given, Kevin and Amy Guskiewicz, and Ann, John and Abby Lindley. The entire Showcase Series is underwritten by the MSU Federal Credit Union.
