One of my Favorites

Over the past year, I attended countless events for Bham Now. The inaugural Celebrate Christmas with Samford Arts was one of my favorite events in 2018.

Here is why.

Samford Shines Bright for Christmas

First, Samford at night, all dressed up for Christmas, is a wonderful sight. Last year, my family arrived on campus a little early before the reception at the Wright Center to walk around leisurely and experience the Christmas lights and garlands decorating the grounds.

At 6:30, there was a “cookies and cider” reception (as well as one this year), on the Wright Center patio and inside the lobby. It was a fantastic time to gather round to see friends and family and meet Samford students and faculty.

A Gift to the Birmingham Community

Of course, this was all a warm up to the Celebrate Christmas production, which began at 7:30PM. Here is a video of one of the dress rehearsals in 2018.

Celebrate Christmas with Samford Arts has been described as the School of the Arts gift to the Samford and greater Birmingham communities. It truly is.

The schedule is the same as in 2018.

6:30pm – Cookies and cider reception
7:30pm – Celebrate Christmas performances

For about 90 minutes, you get to see and hear an uninterrupted performance of the Samford University Orchestra, A Cappella Choir, Gracenotes, University Chorale, and Worship Arts Ensemble alongside Samford faculty and the Samford Dance Company.

It is simply magical.
