The holiday season is fast approaching, and the musical talents of Rhode Island school musicians will be showcased as part of a month-long musical celebration of the holidays during the month of December.

“We’re pleased to be continuing this holiday tradition of student performances at the Rhode Island State House,” said Randall Rosenbaum, Executive Director of the Rhode Island State Council on the Arts. “Close to 3,000 student musicians from forty-five schools throughout the state will perform at the Rhode Island State House in a special series of musical performances.” 

The concert series featuring choral students from 45 schools across Rhode Island begins on Monday, Dec. 2 and runs through Friday, Dec. 20.
