Morris, PhD, and accompanied by beautiful musical stylings, this concert brings the community together in celebrating the miracle of Christmas.
“As we get ready for the 41st annual Celebrate Christmas, we’re especially glad to host it on our campus for the second year. One of our priorities is making this tradition as accessible as possible to our APU community—students, faculty, staff, alumni—and welcoming families and friends to experience it with us,” said John Burdett, EdD, chair of the APU Music. “There’s music in this program for people of all ages and walks of life, from sacred carols and modern worship to nostalgic holiday favorites, jazz, classical music, and beloved Christmas movie music. We want people to hear something they love and discover something new.”
