Enjoy festive carols and Christmas favorites, old and new. Concordia's Christmas concerts are a highlight of the holiday season, so get your tickets today at scfta.org!

Concordia’s celebration of Christmas continues throughout the month of December as Navidad: A Concordia Christmas airing on local and national PBS stations. Concordia’s fourth annual made-for-TV Christmas special includes choral, instrumental, and readings reflecting this year’s theme. Check back in December for local listings.
This year’s theme, Navidad, reflects on the cherished tradition of Las Posadas. Celbrated in Mexico and other Latin American countries, Las Posadas focuses on Mary and Joseph’s journey door-to-door in search of shelter. After many closed doors, being rejected and turned away, their sojourn ends in a joyful celebration, the wondrous birth of Christ in a humble stable.
