Online Christmas Concert for WWII Veterans
2020 marks the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the Netherlands following the German occupation during World War II. Ninety young singers of the Haarlem Choir School in The Netherlands intended to travel to the United States during their spring break on a Thank You tour to honor U.S. veterans for their important role in the liberation. Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the tour cannot take place. In an effort to still show their appreciation, a special online Christmas concert will be streamed from the Cathedral of Saint Bavo in Haarlem, including the entire Cathedral Choir to honor U.S. veterans. This unique and short program can be viewed live on YouTube on Sunday, Dec. 20, 2020, at 1 p.m. EST.
