Blackburn College will celebrate the holiday season with a Lessons and Carols service on Sunday, December 5, 2021 in Clegg Chapel on the college campus. The annual Christmas at Blackburn musical event will start at 7:00 pm and includes performances from Blackburn Voices and College Choir and accompaniment from Dr. See Tsai Chan, adjunct professor of Music at Blackburn. There will also be nine scripture readings presented by students, faculty, staff, and community members.
“We are honored to continue the tradition of celebrating Christmas at Blackburn. The carols and candlelight make for a magical evening ushering in the Christmas season,” Dr. Joseph Welch, professor of Music and director of the performance, explained. Christmas at Blackburn is a long standing tradition and Welch is excited to be able to bring it back this year after last year’s performance was unable to happen. He stated that this is a great opportunity to celebrate the Christmas season and to support students.
Reservations and masks are required for the event. To reserve your tickets or for more information, contact the Music Office at (217) 854-5704 or email music@blackburn.edu.
