Performances include:

• Dec. 1, 7:30 p.m. — The Collegiate Chorale and Chamber Choir will give a joint concert featuring holiday works past and present, including Vince Guaraldi's famous "Linus and Lucy" from "A Charlie Brown Christmas," at the Jim and Joyce Faulkner Performing Arts Center.
• Dec. 4, 7:30 p.m. — The Inspirational Chorale presents "An Inspired Christmas" that puts a Gospel twist on traditional tunes, including a full rock band on stage with the choir, at the Jim and Joyce Faulkner Performing Arts Center.
• Dec. 6, 7:30 p.m. — The Schola Cantorum presents its annual "A Child's Christmas in Wales," in which music is interpolated into a full reading of the famous Dylan Thomas poem by professor Henry Runkles, at the Jim and Joyce Faulkner Performing Arts Center.
• Dec. 15, 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. — Schola Cantorum will appear with the Symphony of Northwest Arkansas at the Walton Arts Center on Dickson Street as part of "A Very SoNA Christmas," singing an a cappella arrangment of "Deck the Halls" by Pentatonix, and choruses from Handel's Messiah.
