A message of peace delivered by the Orchestra and Choir of the UAM A message of peace delivered by the Orchestra and Choir of the UAM ================================================================== 9 janvier 2024 Antonio Vivaldi's *Gloria* was the centerpiece of this season's Christmas Concert, at UAM.

The concert ended with five original Christmas carols from different parts of the world, with Mario Almorox' piano accompaniment: **You can also enjoy** [**the full, original story in Spanish**](https://www.uam.es/uam/noticias/concierto-ocuam-2023)**, on UAM's website.** Related news ------------ - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/uam-campus-800x600.jpg?token=eb757b65c52055647b30e6add58fd344)The UAM will build a pioneering residence for students and young researchers CIVIS Highlights 5 novembre 2026 ](https://civis.eu/fr/the-civis-newsroom/the-uam-will-build-a-pioneering-residence-for-students-and-young-researchers) - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/uam2-800x600.jpg?token=ed6985cf3f19e30c76ceab613191cc24)Democracy celebrated at UAM via a "visual journey" through the main milestones of the Festival of the Iberian Peoples CIVIS Highlights 19 octobre 2026 ](https://civis.eu/fr/the-civis-newsroom/democracy-celebrated-at-uam-via-a-visual-journey-through-the-main-milestones-of-the-festival-of-the-iberian-peoples) - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/civis-3i-800x600.jpg?token=cdaaf78fd06e8e65fdfb5b50ef1a8355)CIVIS3i: Five Years Advancing Research Excellence Across CIVIS Alliance Alliance projects 28 juillet 2026 ](https://civis.eu/fr/the-civis-newsroom/civis3i-five-years-advancing-research-excellence-across-civis-alliance) [ Découvrez toutes nos aventures ](https://civis.eu/fr/the-civis-newsroom) [ Erasmus Mundus Master’s in Cybersecurity opens at ULB ](%20https://civis.eu/fr/the-civis-newsroom/erasmus-mundus-master-s-in-cybersecurity-at-the-ub-applications-opened-until-4th-of-february%20) [ Nobel Week at Stockholm University: a testimony of the power of science and literature ](%20https://civis.eu/fr/the-civis-newsroom/the-nobel-week-celebrated-at-stockholm-university%20) ![CIVIS – Europe’s Civic University Alliance](https://civis.eu/build/assets/civis-CCpvK1nT.svg) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Europe’s Civic University Alliance ![Co-funded by the European Union](https://civis.eu/build/assets/co-funded-by-the-european-union-DSKLW1us.png)Views and opinions expressed do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union or the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA).
