DIRECTOR'S NOTESThe holiday season holds a nostalgia that is unique for each of us. While the general theme of Christmas is as well known as the many carols that surround it, the rituals celebrated are different for each family. Tonight, you are invited to daydream—even nightdream—about what makes Christmas special for you. All of us here at the MSU College of Music wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a New Year that is filled with love, family, and friendship.
