Celebrate the season with Bloomington’s most anticipated holiday musical event. Chimes of Christmas returns to IU Auditorium this December to usher in the holiday magic!

For generations, audiences have delighted in this uplifting holiday spectacular—featuring magical performances by some of our favorite Jacob School of Music ensembles, and led by IU’s Grammy-nominated vocal ensemble, the Singing Hoosiers. Over the past few seasons, Chimes of Christmas has been catapulted into the 21st century with a fresh new look, innovative repertoire, and oodles of energy.

A family-friendly event with special discounts for children, Chimes is the perfect way to start the season’s celebrations. Plus, with the addition of a matinee performance, it’s easy for all to enjoy the enthusiastically performed holiday carols and surprise appearance of a jovial Santa.

“[Chimes of Christmas] is known every year as the most cheerful and family-friendly event among all of the Bloomington public,” Bloomington resident June Quivers said in the Indiana Daily Student. “I love attending it every year in time for the Christmas season, and I will continue going as long as they have it. It really is that spectacular.”
