A Westmont Yuletide

The full arsenal of Westmont College’s musical talent was on display at the Granada for the 18th annual Christmas Festival.

Always a great start to Yuletide, the concert “Prince of Peace” was the second year at the venerable State Street theater after years at the First Presbyterian Church.

Ruth Lin, chair of the music department, conducted the Westmont Orchestra, with other talents including the Choral Union, Chamber Singers, and College Choir.

Alumnus Daniel Gee, Westmont director of choral activities and director of the Santa Barbara Youth Orchestra, conducted the choir and chamber singers.

Lonnie Ostrander conducted the Choral Union. More than 100 musicians and singers filled the cavernous stage.

Always a glittering and enjoyable sold-out event.
