A Joy-Filled Evening

Westmont College fielded its full arsenal at the Granada for its 19th annual sold-out Christmas Festival.

Always a great start to Yuletide, the concert Fullness of Joy was the third year at the historic 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 the College Choir.

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

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

Zig Reichwald, Adams professor of music and worship, and alumnus Paul Mori, conductor of the Santa Barbara Prime Time Band, led the congregational music.

Always a glittering and festive occasion.
