LA GRANDE, Ore. (EOU) – The Observer’s 23rd Annual Holiday Music Festival at Eastern Oregon University includes more than 200 local performers in a community-wide celebration featuring traditional holiday music from around the world.

Sponsored by Koza Family Dental Care, this “gala” style event spotlights the Grande Ronde Symphony Orchestra, EOU Community Symphonic Band, EOU Chamber Choir, Grande Ronde Community Chorus, EOU Drumline and EOU Jazz Ensemble.

Performances are at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 6 and 3 p.m. Dec. 7 in McKenzie Theatre in Loso Hall.

Admission is $8 for adults, $6 for students and senior citizens and it is general festival seating. Tickets are available at Looking Glass Books, the EOU Bookstore and Mountaineer Market. Advance purchase is highly recommended.

All proceeds from the event go to the music funds held in the EOU Foundation. In addition, ArtsEast will conduct a silent auction and sell concessions in the Loso Hall lobby to benefit the Community School of the Arts, a program that provides arts programs for children and adults. The Community School of the Arts is a partnership between ArtsEast and EOU.
