Last year’s Christmas concert at BYU-Idaho will air on PBS this month

The following is a news release from Brigham Young University-Idaho.

REXBURG – In celebration of the Christmas season, Brigham Young University-Idaho’s 2023 performance of “A BYU-Idaho Christmas” with special guest Adassa will be broadcast across the state on Idaho Public Television (IdahoPTV).

A 60-minute edited version of the concert will air on Tuesday, December 17, at 7 p.m. and again on Tuesday, December 24, at 8 p.m.

“Each year, BYU-Idaho puts on a phenomenal celebration of Christmas, and the 2023 performance with Adassa was no exception,” said Brett Crandall, university public affairs director. “We are delighted to share last year’s performance with Idahoans across the state and hope all who watch will feel the spirit of Christmas in their homes.”

The 2023 concert features special guest vocalist, Adassa, alongside hundreds of students in the College of Performing and Visual Arts.

Adassa gained a huge following after her performance as the voice of Dolores in Disney’s blockbuster hit Encanto. She is featured on the Billboard-chart-topping song, “We Don’t Talk About Bruno.”

As a bilingual Afro-Latino voice actress, singer, and songwriter with a dynamic four-octave vocal range, Adassa’s work includes animation, arena performances, commercials representing such brands as Toyota and Procter & Gamble, and, most recently, solo performances with the Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra as part of their recent tour to Mexico City.
