The annual “Christmas at Concordia” concert Friday and Saturday December 1-2 will feature traditional holiday favorites from two well-known American composers, according to longtime music department chairman Dr. Louis Menchaca.
This holiday tradition brings together all of Concordia’s music ensembles – led by The Symphonic Wind Ensemble, The Alleluia Ringers, Kammerchor, and Selah – and will be performed at 7:30 p.m. in The Chapel of the Christ Triumphant on the university’s main campus, 12800 North Lake Shore Drive.
