Student musicians at University School of Milwaukee celebrated the holiday spirit during the all-school holiday concert on Wednesday, Dec. 3. The event featured 1st through 4th grade choirs, 5th and 7th grade choirs, and Upper School band, choir, and orchestra students performing favorite seasonal songs. Special guest musicians Steve Hancock, head of school, and Sabrina Raber, director of Auxiliary Programs, also performed in select pieces. The annual event welcomed upwards of 800 guests in the Upper School gymnasium.
Following the holiday concert, Middle School held its choir concert on Tuesday, Dec. 9, and Upper School held its band, orchestra, and choir concert on Wednesday, Dec. 10.
