Concordia College 83rd Annual Christmas Concert "Journey To Bethlehem"

[@lucymoelling5952]

Wow! I’d love for my grandchildren to go to Concordia!

[@ElizasGrammy]

Mine, too!

[@PeggyPatterson-d3t]

It is a wonderful college. Both my daughter and son-in-law attended, plus many friends.

[@luannrice-ue4fh]

I went to Concordia when Paul J. Christensen was the conductor. We practiced our instruments in what we called the "Sheep Barn". They only allowed "The Concert Choir " perform at Christmas concerts. Now the Cobber choirs etc. are all allowed to sing. My sister played her violin in the Fargo/Moorhead orchestra as Concordia didn't have an orchestra. Times have changed. My first year of college in 1956-57 cost me $900 I paid for it myself and remember working in both the cafeteria and biology lab.

I'm a little jealous of all you alums. 🙂

What is a Cobber choir? I'm not familiar with the term.

[@pneumanaut1]

I was a Cobber from 1981-1985. I never sang with any of the choirs, but I was a faithful audience member. I now live in Calgary AB and it’s my dream to journey back once more to be in the audience once more.

[@pneumanaut1]

@@PatroniFan”Cobber” is our mascot - all Concordia students are Cobbers. The story goes, they started the school in a corn field. Moorhead State University (which is about 2-3 blocks away) would mock us by calling us “cobbers” (corn cobs) … we embraced the term and turned it into the name of our teams and how we identify ourselves. Our mascot’s name is Kernel Cobb. 🤣

I attended Concordia College from 94-96, transferred from Waldorf College in Forest City IA. I sang in Chapel Choir and the Christmas concerts were always the highlight of my academic year. I am an international student from Sierra Leone. My only disappointment in the choir lack diversity which the college should prioritize.

I can't stop watching this concert. Especially from minute 37 to the end. These young adults are what America is all about. Thank you for bringing light into the world.

[@lindamilgate6584]

I really love listening to the voices of a choir of both young men and women pure and beautiful, thank you and bless you all. Feels like hope for the future.

Linda que Dios te bendiga

[@WilliamMead-jd2mr]

Concerts like this have value, even if the video quality is less than one could wish.

[@ElizasGrammy]

Thank you so much for being willing to overlook it.

[@connierad11]

Sacred Christmas music is embedded with the gospel. Being able to text & share videos like this to neighbors & friends is a way to do a little subtle evangelism.😊

[@ElizasGrammy]

[@samuelwang422]

[@susansmith7507]

[@pauljtee9141]

The video quality is fine! Please don’t take it down! I watch this many times during the course of the year.sometimes my soul just needs comforting, and this is where I can find peace

[@ElizasGrammy]

Thank you, Paulj. I'll leave it up as long as "the powers that be" let me. 😉

[@gustavoamaya7777]

Maravilloso. necesitamos hoy más voces como estas para dar fe en cristo. Dios nos ayude en Navidad y siempre. Oraciones desde Colombia, Viva María

[@GlendaBlegen]

I was a freshman at Concordia in 1970. I remember hearing the choir for the first time. I was amazed and still am every time I hear the choir. Love it! I sang in the Christmas concert in 1970 in the women's choir. I didn't pursue music but still love it.

[@robynelliott5603]

Thank you for sharing this beautiful concert. Christmas blessings from Australia.

[@ElizasGrammy]

So glad you enjoyed it! Merry Christmas!

[@robynhamilton8176]

[@waynevaughan7159]

This Choir should sing in the Tabernacle in Salt Lake City, Utah

[@ElizasGrammy]

[@JuliaWestby-g3d]

They'd show up the tabernacle choir in a flash!

[@cuentodelasanimas8113]

Maravilloso, no había escuchado este coro, que ganas tengo de ser joven otra vez y poder tener los recursos como par poder estudiar Algo hermoso y por su puesto, poder cantar en este coro hermoso...

[@danilovillasenor4785]

BEAUTIFUL SOUNDS OF CHRISTMAS. MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL GOD BLESS TO OUR DEAR PLANET EARTH!!

[@vtbiker7246]

Thank you so much for posting it. My son attends Concordia. We live 1,500 miles away, so being able to watch videos like this really makes me feel good about where he has chosen for college and the community at Concordia.

[@ElizasGrammy]

He's so blessed to be able to attend there!

[@odilondasilvarocha]

O Holy Night very well done Most beautiful hymn

[@iancraik115]

Beautiful!

[@maureensalinas8240]

Thank you all

[@joseronelrollon6414]

Nice 🥰🥰🥰

[@ethelmordi216]

Uplifting!

[@shawnhampton8503]

It seems like they had a LOT less people this in 2022 and not as many choirs.... wonder if enrollment is down? This is so great.

[@JuliaWestby-g3d]

Perhaps Covid is still making it hard for the students to return

[@sriyuliastuti7180]

Wow..

[@hansgordy]

Very instrumental. Would like to hear the choirs.

[@Jameswilliamson405]

❤❤❤❤

[@samuelfariss1401]

What is the song they were singing at the beginning of the show? I love this song but can't remember the name of it.

[@juliajsn]

Oh Holy Night

[@DogwoodRicky049]

Probably "Come, Thou Long Expected Jesus". The melody is a Welsh hymn called Hyfrydol.

[@samuelfariss1401]

@@DogwoodRicky049 Thank You! Thank you so much. This is the one I wanted to hear! Both versions are beautiful! It took some searching. There's a new melody for the hymn but it is possible to find a choir singing beautiful renditions of this old Hymn.
