Stephen Zork conducts in the Howard Performing Arts Center.
On Dec. 9, at 8 p.m., the Andrews University Singers and Chorale, under the baton of conductor Stephen Zork, will join the Andrews University Symphony Orchestra, led by conductor Marc Elysee, to present the 25th annual "Welcome Christmas" concert at the Howard Performing Arts Center.
This year's theme, "Peace on Earth," promises to welcome the Christmas spirit with a festive celebration for the season, featuring sacred and secular symphonic choral works and carols. The musical program will span from Giacomo Puccini's "Gloria" to the charming choral setting of "’Twas the Night Before Christmas" by Harry Simeon.
The concert will be a special evening, featuring guest soloists and presenters who will add their unique talents to the great seasonal tradition of "Welcome Christmas."
