In the music special “Christmas At Concordia: Gather Us In, O Child of Peace,” Concordia College re-imagines the Christmas message with music embracing peace and reconciliation.
The concert marks the 125th anniversary of Concordia College, which was founded by Norwegian immigrants and is located in Moorhead, Minnesota.
Under the artistic leadership of world renowned composer and conductor René Claussen, four hundred student musicians perform in front of an original mural measuring nearly 200 feet wide.
The hour-long program explores through song the themes of virtue in the community, including tolerance, compassion and unity.
Music includes traditional favorites like "Silent Night" and "I Saw Three Ships" to an original composition by René Claussen.
