‘A Baylor Christmas’ takes holiday music from Waco nationwide

For more than 60 years, the combined choirs and orchestra of Baylor’s School of Music have heralded the arrival of Christmas with a joyful worship performance. This month, a newly produced version of the award-winning “A Baylor Christmas” will make its national broadcast premiere, airing on more than 100 stations across 37 states.

Last December, Gray Media Group and KWTX Television captured the brilliant sound of Baylor’s combined choirs and the Baylor Symphony Orchestra as they performed traditional Christmas favorites. All told, the production features the talent of more than 350 Baylor students and faculty, performing such favorites as “O Holy Night” and “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel.”

Good news: Even if you’re not in one of the cities airing the special, you can still view it on the Baylor YouTube channel. And that’s not all; check out this playlist of Christmas music from the McLane Carillon and other campus events.

(For those wondering, “Why is this the 2023 performance?”: In recent years, KWTX has gone to an every-other-year schedule for recording and producing the broadcast. The 2023 performance is making its debut this holiday season, and will air again next year; the 2025 show will then be recorded to air in 2026 and 2027, etc.)

Sic ’em, Baylor music students!
