Season Opens with America’s 250th Anniversary Showcase and Annual Christmas at Blackburn Tradition
Blackburn College will open its 2026-27 music performance season this fall with two programs celebrating the music, traditions, and shared experiences that tie communities together. This year’s season, themed “Threads,” explores the connections music creates and how they carry across people, traditions, and generations.
The fall performances will bring together Blackburn students and members of the surrounding community, including the College’s Concert, Campus, and Community choirs, as well as the College’s new instrumental ensemble.
