Dr. Abby Musgrove, associate professor of music and director of choral activities at IC, hopes this year鈥檚 concert will fill listeners with hope and help them feel a sense of belonging. 鈥淥ur theme this year is 鈥楬ome,鈥� but it鈥檚 not just about a physical place or even families. As we travel to Bethlehem together, we realize there was no room at the inn,鈥� she said. 鈥淲e want people to think about: what does 鈥榟ome鈥� mean to you? Where do you feel like you belong?鈥�
