MANSFIELD, PA (11/26/2024) — The Department of Music at Commonwealth University-Mansfield will present their annual holiday choral concerts in Steadman Theatre on Saturday, Dec. 7, at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, Dec. 8, at 2:30 p.m.
More than 100 singers and instrumentalists in the five university choirs: Grace Notes, Steadman Singers, Festival Chorus, Chamber Singers and Concert Choir will take part.

The audience will enjoy singing familiar holiday carols with organ accompaniment by Kenneth Dake of New York City. The program will also feature two student conductors: Victoria Wormuth, of Mansfield, and Mayson Bryant, of Etters.
The theme for the concerts, "Grant Us Peace," provides the opportunity to present uplifting choral works with arrangements of familiar carols such as "Do You Hear What I Hear," "Still, Still, Still," selections from Handel's "Messiah" and songs about bringing peace and love to the world in which we live.
The finale will feature singers encircling the auditorium performing Vaughan Williams' "Nation Shall Not Lift Up a Sword Against Nation" with organ and percussion accompanying.
