Christmas at DePaul

There Shall A Star From Jacob (Mendelssohn)

In December 2007, DePaul University began a new tradition of celebrating the Christmas season with a musical re-telling of the Christmas story. The intention behind Christmas at DePaul was to celebrate this joyous season while ministering to those in need. No admission was charged. Instead, a donation to one of the St. Vincent de Paul parish-sponsored charities was requested in its place.

This production was a collaborative effort between DePaul’s School of Music and Theatre School, and featured the DePaul Community Chorus, the Providence St. Mel Choir, members of the DePaul University Singers, and a 50-piece DePaul student orchestra. The event was narrated by Carol Marin, political columnist for the Chicago Sun-Times and political editor for NBC5 News.

What to say? The three sold-out performances were wonderful!
