Last year, the Cairn Chorale had the opportunity to perform at Washington D.C.’s Museum of the Bible after Dr. Benjamin Harding, dean of the School of Music, formed a connection with the museum’s chief revenue officer, Garrett Hinton. Dr. Harding advocated for the Cairn Chorale, particularly their Lessons & Carols program, and an invitation was soon extended for the Chorale to perform on December 3, 2022.
The evening consisted of Scripture reading and carols that the audience could participate in. Through the efforts of School of Music staff and the Museum of the Bible, the Cairn Chorale became the first university music ensemble to perform at the museum.
