Park University International Music Center's Orchestra to Present Holiday Performance
The Park University International Center for Music (ICM) is set to hold its annual holiday concert on December 7, 2024, at 7:30 p.m. This year's celebration, titled "An Intimate Christmas with the ICM," will mark the next event in the ICM's 2024-25 season.
The concert will take place at the 1900 Building in Mission Woods, Kan., a venue that has hosted numerous ICM events in the past. Admission to the concert is free, but attendees are asked to RSVP in advance.

The ICM Orchestra, under the direction of Steven McDonald, D.M.A., will perform a selection of holiday carols, arranged by Sir David Willcocks, as well as other pieces such as "Overture" and "Rejoice Greatly" from Messiah, "Fantasia" on 'Greensleeves,' "Maria Wiegenlied" ("Mary's Lullaby"), "O Holy Night," "German Dance No. 3, K. 605" ("Sleigh Ride"), Interlude from "Ceremony of Carols," "The Skaters Waltz," and "Radetzky March."
The concert will feature a guest soloist, Payton Boldt, a graduate student at the University of Missouri - Kansas City, who will join the orchestra as a soprano soloist. Ben Lerman, a senior majoring in music performance/violin, will conduct "Fantasia" on 'Greensleeves.'
