46th Christmas Festival of Music & Readings
The musical centerpiece of the Christmas Festival of Music & Readings is the Wabash College Glee Club.
The Brass Ensemble always sets a wonderful holiday mood.
A Wabash holiday tradition, the Christmas Festival dates back to 1968.
Wamidan adds depth to the musical presentation.
Samuel Vaught '16 (center) performed with the Glee Club and on the Pioneer Chapel organ.
The Christmas Festival alternates performances of musical numbers, congregational hymns, and readings from the Bible, and is modeled on the King’s College Festival of Lessons and Carols at Cambridge University in England.

In addition to the Glee Club, the Festival featured several Wabash music groups, including the Brass Ensemble, the String Ensemble, Wamidan, and T-Tones. Miscellanea Musica, a Lafayette-based recorder ensemble, also performed.
The Glee Club performs under the direction of Richard Bowen.
No instrument represents the joy of the holiday season quite like the french horn.
