Get your fill of holiday cheer at Young Harris College this season, as the college is hosting two special events for the Christmas season.
First up is the annual YHC Christmas tree lighting at 6 p.m. Monday, Dec. 1 at the chapel. The Brasstown 5, YHC Chamber Choir and YHC Chapel Band will all perform. There will be hot chocolate and cookies. Then, everyone will head out for the lighting of the tree by the campus plaza.
Next up will be YHC's annual concert, Christmas at YHC. The Department of Music will perform its annual holiday concert at 7 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 6 and at 3 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 7 in Glenn~McGinnis Hall on the YHC campus. Admission is $10 for adults and free for children 14 and under. YHC students, faculty and staff can attend for free, as well as first responders and military with identification. Tickets will be available at the door.
A cherished holiday tradition at YHC, the concert will feature the YHC Chamber Choir, Concert Choir and Concert Band. Student and community groups will perform festive music outdoors and in the lobby of Glenn~McGinnis Hall prior to the show. The choirs will be accompanied by a string orchestra this year thanks to the generous support of our Friends of the Arts.
