The annual “Sounds of the Season” concert will be presented by Western Carolina University’s School of Music on Sunday, Dec. 2, in the John W. Bardo Fine and Performing Arts Center.
The holiday musical tradition begins at 4 p.m. and will include a jazz ensemble, percussion ensemble, the WCU Wind Ensemble and University Chorus, and the Western Carolina Civic Orchestra. Children from the Jackson County Youth Honors Chorus will perform. The family-friendly concert concludes with a holiday sing-along and an appearance by Santa Claus.
