Together, we’ll perform “When We Were Young” by Adele, a fitting choice as the song was released in 2016.
Whether you sang in choir, performed in ensembles, musicals, concerts, liturgies, or other music activities during your time at Nazareth, we’d love to welcome you back to be part of this special moment. It will be an opportunity to reconnect with old friends, celebrate shared memories, and be part of a wonderful evening of music.
