Belmont University’s annual “Christmas at Belmont” will stream live on the Amazon Music channel on Twitch and Prime Video from the Fisher Center for the Performing Arts, marking the concert tradition’s first appearance on a global streaming service, on Wednesday, Dec. 11 at 7 p.m. CT. The event will also be available throughout the holiday season via video on demand.

This year’s show will feature over 600 student musicians and vocalists as well as performances by alumni Ashley Cooke, Cody Fry and Dwan Hill.

Since graduating with a corporate communications degree in 2019, rising artist Cooke has won a CMT Music Award for Breakthrough Female Video of the Year and celebrated her first No. 1 hit, “Your Place.” After studying commercial music and graduating in 2012, singer-songwriter and composer Fry garnered attention for his approach to music production and has since earned a Grammy nomination for his orchestral version of “Eleanor Rigby,” collaborated with major symphony orchestras around the world and achieved success on platforms like TikTok. A 2008 music education graduate and 2013 master of music graduate, Multi-Grammy and GMA Dove Award winner and adjunct songwriting professor Hill recently established a partnership and funding from Belmont University’s Creative Arts Collective for Christian Life and Faith for his nonprofit organization, The Choir Room, which seeks to bring together a diverse mix of singers and musicians to exemplify a commitment to inclusive, community-driven music.

“This global showcase with Amazon Music is a testament to the extraordinary talent and dedication of our students and faculty. It’s a moment of celebration for our entire community as we share the joy of music and the spirit of Christmas with people around the world,” says Belmont University President Greg Jones. “As viewers tune in from across the globe, they’ll see our students and alumni applying years of rigorous training and collaborative creativity in real-time, illustrating why Belmont, located in the heart of Nashville, is a premier destination for aspiring artists and musicians.”
