BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – The Bloomington holiday tradition Chimes of Christmas, featuring the Grammy-nominated Singing Hoosiers, returns to IU Auditorium Saturday, December 4 for two family-friendly shows at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.

 

Chimes of Christmas will deliver a vast repertoire of holiday songs performed by the Singing Hoosiers and their special guests.
