Join School of Music faculty and guest artists for a virtual recital in celebration of Beethoven's 250th birthday! Ludwig van Beethoven (1770–1827) remains one of the most performed and beloved composers in the history of Western classical music. He was baptised on December 17, but the exact day of his birth has been forgotten. Could it have been December 15? No one knows for sure.

Six virtual choral ensembles bring the joy of the holiday season to life with carols, hymns and spoken word that epitomize hope and goodwill. Program highlights include Francis Poulenc’s Quatre motets pour le temps de Noël and Zoltán Kodály’s Veni Emmanuel. Then sing along at home to archival recordings of the beloved David Willcocks carols.
