The University of Mobile’s (UMobile) 10th annual Christmas Spectacular concert will appear on Mobile-area and international television this Christmas season.
The popular production, featuring a 250-plus member student choir and orchestra, was held at Dauphin Way Baptist Church, Mobile, from Nov. 30 through Dec. 2, drawing more than 8,000 people for the three-day event.
“People often stop me and say, ‘I just don’t see how it improves year after year, yet it just gets better,’” said Al Miller, dean of the university’s Center for Performing Arts/School of Music and School of Worship Leadership. “I can answer that by saying that first and foremost, our wonderful Lord blesses our effort to praise Him.”
The Christmas Spectacular will air in a three-state region at 5 a.m. and 7 a.m. during Christmas Day on WALA Fox10. It also will air on WHBR TV33 on Dec. 22 at 7 p.m., Dec. 23 at 2 p.m., and Dec. 24 at 9:30 p.m.; and on the Trinity Broadcast Network at various times. In addition it will show internationally on satellite stations Cornerstone TeleVision and The Walk TV (formerly Legacy TV).
Several videos from the 2012 performance also are posted on UMobile’s YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/universityofmobile.
“The combination of outstanding faculty and students create a presentation that is fresh, imaginative, traditional, contemporary, a bit zany and truly inspiring,” Miller said. “This year, the program goes well beyond our little university and reaches the world.”
A DVD of highlights from the event is available. For more information, or to order DVDs, visit www.umobile.edu or call 251-442-2420.
