“A Holiday Celebration”
The Charlotte Concert Band will present its annual Holiday Concert on
December 17, 2022 at 4 PM at Christ Lutheran Church (Sanctuary) (4519 Providence Rd, Charlotte, NC 28226). Come help us celebrate the season at this beautiful and spacious venue with familiar musical favorites that the whole family will recognize.
Highlights include selections from the acclaimed holiday original motion picture, “The Polar Express”! On Christmas Eve, a young boy embarks on a magical adventure to the North Pole on the Polar Express, while learning about friendship, bravery and the spirit of Christmas. A Holiday classic!
This isn’t your typical “Jingle Bell” Christmas. We’ll sneak a peek at the “Reindeer Gallop” and figure out how Santa delivers all those packages in one night and even drop in on “Christmas with Mozart” and see how the maestro may have celebrated the holiday. Great music and great fun!
