Annual holiday concert by the Georgia State University School of Music, with students and faculty playing winter holiday music.
The Georgia State University School of Music is bringing back its 29th Annual Holiday Gala on Sunday, December 6, at The Rialto Center for the Arts. It's a tradition that's been running for nearly 30 years, and this year's edition keeps the same format that's made it a fixture of the city's winter calendar: students and faculty performing together on one stage.
That's the core of the whole thing. Rather than a single ensemble, the gala pulls from across the school, putting the students and the professors side by side. They'll play a variety of musical selections chosen to capture the spirit of the winter holidays, so you'll hear a range of styles rather than just one approach to the season. It's a celebratory program, and the mix of student and faculty performers is what gives it that specific community feel.
If you've been around the Atlanta scene for a while, you've probably seen this one pop up every December. It's a long-running tradition that brings the school's music community together for a few hours of holiday music, and this year marks the 29th time they've put it on. It's one of those events that's become a reliable part of the city's winter cultural life.
