This festive performance will showcase a wonderful blend of timeless holiday music, including cherished carols and some new seasonal favorites.

The 80+ volunteer singers from the Lewiston-Auburn area, under the direction of Artistic Director Richard Nickerson, have been rehearsing for weeks to deliver a performance that promises to inspire and uplift. With a perfect mix of festive traditions and new holiday gems, A Season of Celebration will surely fill the Franco Center with the warmth, wonder, and excitement of the season.
