An American Christmas
Presented by Elmhurst Choral Union & Orchestra
Conducted by Scott Uddenberg
Celebrate the magic of the season with An American Christmas, a festive musical journey through the sounds and traditions that have shaped the holidays in America.
From the timeless beauty of “White Christmas” and the joyful spirit of “Sleigh Ride” to the cherished melodies of “Do You Hear What I Hear?” and “Carol of the Drum,” this concert brings together beloved holiday favorites and inspiring choral works.
Experience the warmth of Alfred Burt’s Christmas carols, the radiant beauty of Elaine Hagenberg’s “Love’s Pure Light,” and the rich musical heritage of early American composer William Billings.
Whether these songs bring back treasured memories or become new holiday favorites, An American Christmas promises an afternoon of beautiful music, nostalgia, and Christmas cheer. We may even have a guest from the North Pole too!
Make Elmhurst Choral Union part of your holiday tradition. We look forward to celebrating the season with you!
