The free concert begins at 8 p.m. in Saliba Chapel.

The Baron Singers is an auditioned student ensemble consisting of 10 singers and an instrumental combination well known for its high-energy performances under the direction of Eernisse, an associate professor of music.

The Baron Singers will open the performance in costume for "'Twas the Night before Christmas," followed by selections including "Baby, It's Cold Outside", "Frosty the Snowman", "Merry Christmas, Darling", "Joy" from the movie "The Preacher's Wife", "Go, Tell It on the Mountain" and a disco version of "Jingle Bells."

"This is the type of program that should be fun for all ages," Eernisse said.

In their earlier years, the Baron Singers were identified with folk music but have evolved into a very versatile performing ensemble, including styles from gospel and spirituals to jazz, pop and rock music from the past and present.
