The University of Mississippi Department of Music will host its annual holiday concert on Saturday, Dec. 7 at 7:30 p.m. in the Ford Center for the Performing Arts.

An evening of holiday music will be presented featuring a broad range of pieces from sacred to secular, and from traditional to new. It is all to help the performers and audience alike have a wonderful beginning to their holiday season.
