The University of Hawai'i Celebrates Christmas With Music, Dance, and More

The University of Hawai'i at M?noa's Music Department and Department of Theatre and Dance are once again collaborating for a classical Christmas celebration of live music, dance, and theatre. After joyful concerts in 2012 and 2014, "A M?noa Christmas" comes back to Kennedy Theatre on December 6, 2018 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $10-$20. Proceeds support the creative efforts of both departments.

"A M?noa Christmas" will feature performances of holiday classics by UH Symphony Orchestra, Choirs, Wind Ensemble, and Jazz Band. Raiatea Helm, well known to local audiences, and a surprise guest conductor will make a special appearance. Students from the UH Department of Theatre and Dance will perform scenes from A Christmas Carol. In this fun-filled holiday romp, four narrators tell Dickens' classic story, taking on the familiar characters of Bob Cratchit, the three ghosts, and of course, Ebenezer Scrooge, who must learn to change his miserly ways before it is too late. This holiday celebration will also include performances by UHM student dancers in excerpts from The Nutcracxker in traditional and new choreography.

Tickets to "A M?noa Christmas" are on sale online at etickethawaii.com, by phone at (808) 944-2697, and at official outlets. Sales at the Kennedy Theatre Box Office will begin an hour before the show on December 6.
