MOORHEAD (KFGO/KVRR) — Thousands of people will be making their way to the 99th Concordia Christmas Concert. This year’s theme is “Welcome All Wonders.”
“The Welcome All Wonders is really about all of those things we celebrate on a yearly basis. All of those elements that go into making a Christmas concert happen. And today and this year, we’re celebrating all of those in one big smorgasbord, to use a Scandinavian word. Of music and narration, and theatrical lighting to bring this year’s concert to our audience,” said Michael Culloton, Artistic Director of the Concordia Christmas Concert and Director of Choral Activities.
The Concordia Christmas Concerts have been part of the community since 1927, growing bigger each year.
“I’m excited for the audiences to come to the concerts not only to hear the music that they love and some new music that they’ll be introduced to, but to be inspired by nearly 360 students who are giving of their talents to share this concert with their community. And they should be inspired by young, 18 to 21-year-olds who are so selfless in sharing. And inspiring in their music making as well,” said Culloton.
Featuring more than 300 student musicians and five ensembles, the 2025 Concordia Christmas Concert will be performed in Memorial Auditorium at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Dec. 5; 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 6; and 2 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 7; and at Orchestra Hall in Minneapolis at 5 and 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 11.
Tickets are available online, in person at the Memorial Auditorium Box Office (9 a.m.-1 p.m. Monday-Thursday), or by calling 888-477-0277 (9 a.m.-1 p.m. Monday-Thursday).
