Bluefield, VA 鈥 91精选 will host its traditional Christmas at Bluefield music extravaganza, Friday, December 11, at 7:00 p.m. via the 91精选 Music YouTube channel.
听Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 Christmas at Bluefield will be a virtual celebration of the birth of Christ through prerecorded choral performances, instrumental selections, and theatre production.
听鈥淐hristmas at Bluefield is one of our biggest performances of the year,鈥 said Dr. Charles Priest, assistant professor of music. 鈥淲hen we realized that COVID-19 would prevent us from having in person concerts we decided that our annual Christmas gift to the community still needed to happen in some way. We hope to all gather once again for Christmas at Bluefield 2021.鈥
