Adams performed in holiday concert

Belmont University’s Hannah Adams was among more than 600 student musicians and vocalists to perform in the annual concert tradition, “Christmas at Belmont: Live from Nashville.”

“It’s not just a stage of choral orchestral people singing Christmas song after Christmas song,” explained Director of Choral Activities Dr. Jeffery Ames. “We could have a poignant piece by a loft choir followed by pop ensemble singing the latest Christmas chart, then percussion ensemble, country, bluegrass — and then the orchestra shows their skills.”

The 90-minute performance featured more than 600 student musicians and vocalists where viewers will witness the depth of Belmont’s musical education. Filmed live in front of an audience at the University’s Fisher Center for the Performing Arts, more than 15 student choirs and ensembles performed including the Belmont Chorale, Symphony Orchestra, Southbound (country) and Voxology, among many others.

Located two miles from downtown Nashville, Tenn., Belmont University comprises nearly 9,000 students from every state and 33 countries.
