Enjoy a beloved holiday tradition. This holiday special features the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and Chorus along with the Morehouse College Glee Club in a celebration of sacred Christmas music. From "The First Nowell” to "Come All Ye Faithful," this is a touching and beautiful concert from Atlanta.

Handel’s 18th-century masterpiece, “The Messiah,” has been reimagined and infused with Gospel, Jazz, and R&B. The result is an uplifting reinterpretation of this seasonal favorite, captured at its European premiere at London’s Royal Albert Hall.

Broadway star Michael Maliakel and beloved actress Lesley Nicol (Downton Abbey) inspire in this holiday special that weaves Christmas classics with the story of Victor Hugo to show that opening our hearts to all is the true meaning of the season.

Spelman College and Morehouse College are delighted to present the 98th Annual Christmas Carol Concert. This year, the Spelman Glee Club celebrates its centennial anniversary. As the oldest collegiate choir of African American women in the U.S., the Glee Club has preserved the legacy of Black choral music and has inspired generations of young women to share their artistry with the world.

It’s Christmas 1969, and the funfair and carol concert add color to frosty Poplar. Yet, the festive spirit at Nonnatus House is dampened by the spread of influenza alongside growing fears of an escaped prisoner after a spate of break-ins.
