The singers will be joined by harp, piano, organ and percussion instruments.  Soloists include two doctors, two Centre College graduate assistants, a professor of anthropology at EKU, and an audiologist from Kentucky School for the Deaf and others.

Audience members will be invited to join them for two well-known Christmas songs. This concert is Sounding Joy choir’s 17th December concert, and is Resonance choir’s 7th December concert.
