It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas

Thanksgiving may be over, but the holiday season is just kicking in. Classes are assigning final projects, final exams are nearing and Christmas is now upon us.

To start off the holiday season, the Cole Conservatory is hosting its annual Winter Festival Concert on Dec. 6 - 7. The concert will take place in the First Congregational Church of Long Beach and will be directed by Olga Artemova, Christine Guter, Julie Ramsey, Jonathan Talberg and Leland Vail.

The concert lineup will feature the Chamber Choir, University Choir, Forty-Niner Chorus, Women's Chorus, Men's Chorus, brass, handbells and a 68-Rank Möller Pipe Organ.
