Nova Singers, under the direction of Dr. Laura Lane, is thrilled to present two performances of A Nova Christmas, Friday, December 12 at 7:30 p.m. at First Lutheran Church, 364 E Water Street, Galesburg and Saturday, December 13 at 7:30 p.m. at St. Paul Lutheran Church, 2136 Brady St., Davenport.

This year our Christmas program features traditional carols we all know and love, including The Holly and the Ivy, We Three Kings and Deck the Hall. Guest artists playing harp, guitar and marimba will join us for an extraordinary set of carols from south of the border.

Music Director, Dr. Laura Lane says, “I am thrilled that superbly talented instrumentalists Claire Happel Ashe, Angelo Favis and Justin Swearinger can join us to perform Susa’s Carols and Lullabies from the Southwest. This is a rare opportunity, and everyone there will be blown away by the beauty and uniqueness of these carols. We’re also doing audience favorites, including a jazz arrangement of In dulci jubilo and the powerful and dramatic Bogoroditse Devo by Rachmaninoff.”
