A Holiday Concert with the USU Choirs
Choirs at Utah State University combine to present “Wintersongs” Thursday, Dec. 4, at 6 and 8 p.m. at the St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church in Hyde Park, Utah.
“Wintersongs” is in its 12th year as a rich Cache Valley holiday tradition and is the perfect way to celebrate the season, said Cory Evans, director of choral activities in the Caine College of the Arts.
“This year’s concert will be magical with a traditional, timeless, mystical feel ? far from the artificial glitz we often see during the holidays,” said Evans. “There is a power to the space at St. Thomas Aquinas that enhances the music and transfixes the audience. It’s a performance far from what you would often see and hear during the holidays.”
In addition to some of the most beautiful choral singing you will ever hear, the evening will also feature the St. Thomas Aquinas organ, harp, English handbells, a wassail carol performed on rustic instruments and a candlelight processional, said Evans.
“This is the kind of concert one might see in a cathedral in Europe on Christmas Eve,” he said.
Wintersongs is free and open to the public. Please, no children under 8. The concert is presented at the St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church, 725 S. 250 East, Hyde Park, Utah.
