Ohio State Lima presents Holiday Concert Dec. 2

The Ohio State Lima Department of Music presents its Holiday Concert at 8 p.m., Thurs., Dec. 2, 2010, in the Martha W. Farmer Theatre for the Performing Arts in Reed Hall on the Ohio State Lima Campus. This concert marks the first time that the University Chorus, Ohio State Lima Chamber Singers and the University Band will join talents for a single performance.

The Chamber Singers is a select group of vocalists who perform unaccompanied sacred and secular choral repertoire. Both groups are under the direction of Dr. Michael Benson.
The University Band is comprised of more than two dozen instrumentalists. Mr. Richard Sherrick directs the band.
