Schola Cantorum Brings Sounds of Season to Campus With 'A Child's Christmas in Wales'
The Schola Cantorum will sing its eighth annual presentation of "A Child's Christmas in Wales" at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 6.
The concert is a synthesis of spoken word and music. Iconic music professor Henry Runkles gives life to the famous Dylan Thomas poem, while the choir interpolates music into and over the drama.
The concert lasts about 60 minutes, with no intermission.
This year's music includes familiar holiday favorites, newly composed melodies and a cover of Aerosmith's "Toys in the Attic."
The concert is 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 6, at the Faulkner Performing Arts Center. Tickets are free, but must be reserved in advance at the Faulkner PAC box office.
