Ticket Price: Admission is free and tickets will NOT be available in advance this year. Because of the popularity of this annual holiday event, it is recommended that patrons arrive early to claim their seats. The venue box office will open one hour prior to showtime. A special reserved seating area will be available for members of the Tiers of Friendship.

This year's theme, “Christmas from Around the World,” will feature carols originating from England, France, Germany, Spain, the Netherlands, Italy, Bohemia and the Americas.

The Holiday Sing began at UTD 27 years ago with a simple invitation to the university's neighbors to visit the campus for a special event. Since then, the concert has become a favorite tradition for residents of the Dallas and Richardson areas.

The afternoon Children's Concert will include sing-along songs and a special visit by Santa Claus. The Traditional Concert at 7:30 p.m. will feature the UTD Chamber Singers, UTD Chorale and the Symphonic Brass Quintet, directed by Kathryn Evans. There also will be speakers to delight the audience with special Christmas readings. The audience will be invited to sing along with traditional carols and the Hallelujah chorus from the "Messiah.”
