WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — For the first time in 87 years, Purdue Musical Organizations’ Purdue Christmas Show will be a virtual production. The show will be shared online via the PMO website and social media channels on Dec. 19 and will be available to view through Jan. 1. No tickets or pre-registration are required to view the free performance.
More than 300 student performers – the Purdue Varsity Glee Club, Purduettes, Purdue Bells, University Choir, Heart & Soul and PMO Express – will be featured in the virtual show, titled “A Different Kind of Christmas.”
“The PMO students and staff worked tirelessly to create an alternate virtual performance so that our viewers can still enjoy this beloved holiday tradition,” says Bill Griffel, the Albert P. Stewart Director of Purdue Musical Organizations and Jack Calhoun Director of the Purdue Varsity Glee Club. “This year’s show will be quite a departure from our usual Broadway-style performance, but one that we hope you enjoy all the same.”
This performance was funded entirely with donations from the PMO family and Purdue community, Griffel said. The virtual production would not have been possible without the generous support from PMO alumni and donors, he said.
