Beaufort students Kimberly Rauscher and Jonah Louque, currently attending Belmont University, will be among more than 600 student musicians and vocalists to perform in the beloved annual concert tradition, “Christmas at Belmont: Live from Nashville.”
Beginning Wednesday, Dec. 11 at 8 p.m., this popular holiday spectacular began streaming to a global audience on Prime Video and the Amazon Music channel on Twitch ans will be available throughout the holiday season. For more information, visit belmont.edu/christmas.
This year marks the first time the event has been available on a global streaming platform.
“It’s not just a stage of choral orchestral people singing Christmas song after Christmas song,” explained Director of Choral Activities Jeffery Ames. “We could have a poignant piece by a loft choir followed by pop ensemble singing the latest Christmas chart, then percussion ensemble, country, bluegrass — and then the orchestra shows their skills.”
“Christmas at Belmont Live from Nashville” highlights Belmont’s commitment to fostering innovative creativity and providing comprehensive training. The 90-minute performance will feature more than 600 student musicians and vocalists where viewers will witness the depth of Belmont’s musical education. Filmed live in front of an audience at the University’s Fisher Center for the Performing Arts, more than 15 student choirs and ensembles will perform including the Belmont Chorale, Symphony Orchestra, Southbound (country) and Voxology (Gospel, R&B), among many others.
