HARRISONBURG – The James Madison University Chorale, Brass Ensemble and Symphony Orchestra will perform seasonal music selections and will lead a sing-a-long at the 32nd annual Holidayfest Sunday, Dec. 3, at 4 p.m. in Wilson Hall Auditorium.

The university's traditional holiday event will feature portions of Handel's "Messiah," "Riu, Riu, Chiu," "Angels We Have Heard on High," "Still, Still, Still," "Touro-louro-lour!" and "The Twelve Days of Christmas." Following the ensembles' performances, the JMU Chorale will lead the audience in singing traditional seasonal carols.

After the indoor concert, the audience is welcome to gather around the holiday tree on the JMU Quadrangle for its lighting and for more singing. Complimentary cookies and hot chocolate will be available.

General-admission tickets for Holidayfest are $8 for the public, and $6 for senior citizens, children 12 and younger, and those with JMU access cards. Reservations may be made by calling the Masterpiece Season box office at (540) 568-7000 or (877) 201-7543 (toll free).
