(gentle music) >> Welcome to the Chapel of the Resurrection, where students, faculty, and the community so often find ourselves in congregation and celebration.

Hello, I'm Jose Padilla, President of Valparaiso University.

We're proud to bring you The Pipes of Valparaiso University, A Christmas Celebration.

The talented musicians will be performing Christmas-inspired pieces that bloom within the open and welcoming space of our beloved chapel.

The centerpiece of the program is the Reddel Memorial Organ, played by Dr. Sunghee Kim.

The organ will be joined by Diego Piedra on violin, for an inspired duet, and soprano Maura Cock for a familiar hymn.

So sit back, relax, and enjoy.
