“This concert promises to be a wonderful experience and a perfect way to get everyone in the festive mood,” Scheepers said.

The Cathedral is a beautiful space to celebrate the spirit and the sounds of the season; the acoustics provided by the large ceiling and high walls exemplify the beautiful singing of the students.

The concert is free and open to the public, but donations are accepted to support scholarships for Mines students participating in music.
