Annual Holiday Concert Features 50-Voice Chorus, Special Guests, and 1920s Best Dressed Contest
The Plattsburgh State Gospel Choir invites the community to experience the magic of the holiday season at their annual "Soulful Christmas 2025" concert on Sunday, December 7, 2025, at 5:00 PM in the E. Glenn Giltz Auditorium, Hawkins Hall, SUNY Plattsburgh.
This year's performance takes inspiration from PBS's Downton Abbey, encouraging attendees to embrace the elegance of the 1920s era with a best-dressed contest offering prizes for the most authentic period attire. Let your inner Dowager Countess or Lord Grantham shine through!
Under the artistic direction of Dr. Dexter L. Criss, Professor of Chemistry and Music Adjunct, and Associate Artistic Director Andrea D. Ogle, the 50-voice chorus will present a harmonious fusion of traditional gospel, urban gospel, and contemporary Christian music, blended with Caribbean and Afrocentric rhythms.
This family-friendly concert coincides with the City of Plattsburgh's festive holiday weekend celebrations, making it the perfect way to embrace the Christmas spirit in the North Country.
