Fall 2025 -Across the Atlantic

Across the Atlantic concert program cover Each year, Kennesaw State University's Global Education puts focus on a particular country to teach students, faculty, and staff about the cultures of that country.  In recognition of this academic year's Year of the United Kingdom, we performed a selection of holiday pieces originating from both British and American composers.
