We’re thrilled to invite you to our annual "Visions of Christmas" fundraiser concert on December 15th, 2024, at 2:00 PM in the beautiful McNally Recital Hall. ? This is more than just a concert—it’s a celebration of community, music, and the holiday spirit!

Special Headliners: Donnie & Nancy Emerson

We are beyond excited to welcome the legendary Donnie & Nancy Emerson as the headliners of this year’s concert! Donnie, who comes from Fruitland, Washington, and Nancy, who is from Spokane, captured national attention with the rediscovery of Donnie's 1979 album Dreamin' Wild, which was reissued in 2012 to critical acclaim showcasing their passion and resilience in the music world. Their journey was so inspiring that it was turned into the film “Dreamin’ Wild,” featuring Casey Affleck and Zooey Deschanel. Now, they’re bringing their magic to our stage with a special set entitled “Dreamin’ Christmas," a special performance that blends their soulful sound with holiday classics such as Spokane’s own Bing Crosby’s “White Christmas.”

This is your chance to see these extraordinary artists live and experience their unique blend of heartfelt, soulful music that embodies the essence of the holiday season.

And That’s Not All!

Our talented Holy Names Music Center Faculty will open the show, performing beloved holiday classics such as "Carol of the Bells", “Sleigh Ride,” “O Holy Night,” & John Rutter’s “Candlelight Carol.” The concert will include an audience sing-along that promises to fill the hall with warmth, connection, and festive cheer—all under the glow of candlelight.
