We have reached the end of our 12 Days of Christmas journey. Today, your ears will be blessed to hear this gorgeous rendition of O Holy Night by one of our professors at Brenau, Ms. Portia Burns!

Enjoy and share! p.s. this has been so much fun...there might be one extra video tomorrow... *This video is for educational purposes only. We do not own any of the music in these videos.*

On our penultimate day of our 12 Days of Christmas journey, we present to you our beloved Mr. Leaptrott! He is playing a beautiful medley of songs you might know and love.

Day 10 greets us with another one of our choirs at Brenau. This time, you get to hear the women of Spectrum Singers! This song, Seasons, is by Norwegian composer Ola Gjeilo.

On day 9 of our 12 Days of Christmas, we are featuring our Gospel Choir! This video is from 2015, but features a typical facet of the Gospel Choir concerts: the leadership of both our beloved Professor Portia Burns, and her father, Elder Burns. Please enjoy the passion of this wonderful choir and great addition to our choral singing at Brenau! *This video is for educational purposes only. We do not own any of the music in these videos.*
