SUMMARY:The Heart of Christmas
LOCATION:LaSells Stewart Center Austin Auditorium\, 875 SW 26th Street\, C
 orvallis\, OR 97331
DESCRIPTION:The true heart of Christmas does not live under a decorated tr
 ee\, inside a wrapped box\, or within the bustling rush of the season. It
  beats quietly in the spaces between us\, in a song you've known your who
 le life\, in the people you want close and the ones you find yourself mis
 sing. It's in the choice to slow down and give those we love what the sea
 son usually steals: our time\, our attention\, our presence.\n\nThe Heart
  of Christmas carries forward a tradition more than two decades in the ma
 king. Guest artistic director Evynne Hollens\, a Broadway performer\, a p
 roud Eugene native and a past participant\, fills in for Shirley this yea
 r and brings her own voice to that legacy\, gathering the songs that lift
  our spirits\, move us\, and speak to what we all feel this time of year.
 \n\nYou'll hear everything from "O Come\, O Come Emmanuel" to Josh Groban
 's "Believe\," Natalie Cole's "Grown-Up Christmas List\," and James Taylo
 r's quiet "Some Children See Him." From sacred carols\, to classics from 
 the Great American Songbook\, alongside a few originals by Peter Hollens\
 , modern Christmas songs about human connection\, letting go of what we c
 an't keep\, and finding light in dark times. Young voices will join the s
 tage too\, including members of the Hollens family.\n\nHowever you come t
 o it\, Christmas has always asked us to turn toward one another. And like
  we do every year\, we'll still sing together\, the songs that remind us 
 we're not so far apart.\n\nhttp://next-to-u.app/events/635043f0-edb6-4423
