Works performed Dec. 10 will include: Debussy's Menuet from Petite Suite and “Clair de lune” from Suite “Bergamasque,” Ravel's “Mother Goose” Suite and “Frontispice,” Gounod's “Soldier's March,” Love Song and Waltz from the opera “Faust” and Christmas favorites like Dello Joio's “O Come All Ye Faithful” and “Hark, the Herald Angels Sing.”

The ensemble ranges from 10 to 14 players, and is open to all Harper students (regardless of major), faculty and staff and surrounding community members.
