Nearly 100 WB choral and instrumental musicians joined together to bring the joy and warmth of the holiday season during two separate performances of WB’s annual Christmas Showcase concert, Sat., Dec. 4. A variety of Christmas music was performed by two choirs, two bands, and a string ensemble.

“The musical theme was ‘Ring-Out the News of Christ’s birth,’” said Dr. Virginia Cross, the Chair of the Music Department. “Our singers and instrumentalists presented some beautiful music as a joyful celebration, and the audience joined in singing Christmas carols with us.”

Christmas Showcase performances were at 3 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., at the C.E. Jeffers Sports Center.

WB’s musicians will again be playing Christmas music during a holiday presentation in the Oregon State Capitol Rotunda, in Salem, Friday, Dec. 10, at 2:30 p.m.
