It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, and to help people ring in the holiday season, the Department of Music, Theatre and Dance will present four holiday concerts featuring performances from the University’s musical ensembles. The Newport Community Symphonic Band and the Newport County Orchestra will also perform.

Admission to any of the four concerts is $10 for the general public and $8 for students and senior citizens. It’s free for Salve Regina students with a valid University ID. Tickets can be purchased in advance here, and they will also be available at the door.

Masks will be required for all audience members attending the live concerts. Every performance will also have an online option for people who’d like to watch from the comfort of their own home.
