In light of these changes, Millikin University
will be celebrating the holiday season with a livestream event this
December featuring video footage from past Vespers concerts, and a
special virtual appearance from this year's Millikin choirs.
Dates, times and livestream links will be announced at a later date.
Vespers is one of Millikin University's most popular events
signaling the beginning of the holiday season with a sumptuous
evening of carols, choirs and candlelight. During the event, over
250 musicians join together for a joyous musical feast with songs
from past centuries combined with familiar carols and arrangements.

Millikin, has served as artistic director for Vespers, along with
conductor Beth Holmes and other faculty members, for over 25 years.
Each year, new music is added to the traditional Christmas stories
as told by the choirs.
