The St. Olaf Christmas Festival - one of America's longest running celebrations of Christmas - will be simulcast live for the first time ever in high-definition and cinema surround sound to nearly 200 movie theatres on Sunday, Dec. 2 from St. Olaf's Skoglund Center Auditorium. The simulcast will include a 30-minute introduction featuring the history of the college and the event.
The St. Olaf Christmas Festival is a two-hour service of hymns, carols and choral selections that celebrate the birth of Christ, performed by more than 500 student musicians under the leadership of conductor Anton Armstrong '78. More than 12,000 students, alumni and friends of the college attend the four sold-out performances presented on the St. Olaf College campus every December.
Now, for the first time ever, patrons across the country can experience the event in movie theatres nationally, live via satellite in high-definition and cinema surround sound, presented exclusively by NCM Fathom and live event specialists BY Experience -- in conjunction with Twin Cities Public Television -- at 196 participating Regal, United Artists, Edwards, Cinemark and AMC movie theatres across the United States.
