Grant Hackethorn, senior instrumental music major from Waco, will open the program with "Changes for Carillon" by Gary White, followed by the Albert Gerken's arrangement of the traditional "Pat-a-Pan."
Joe Gastler, a sophomore church music major from Houston, will play Gerken's "Pastel in Bronze," followed by the John Knox settings of three carols, "Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming," "Silent Night" and "We Wish You a Merry Christmas."
Evelyn Lamb, a senior University Scholar from Dallas, will bring the program to a close with "Andante No. 79" by Joannes De Gruijtters, followed by Gerken's arrangement of "O Come, All Ye Faithful" and "Carol of the Bells."
