Tickets for Christmas at Luther available to the public starting Oct. 30
Tickets for Luther College’s award-winning annual Christmas at Luther performance go on sale to the general public starting at 9 a.m. on Thursday, Oct. 30. Limited in-person tickets are available for performances running Dec. 4–7 in the Center for Faith and Life Main Hall, and unlimited livestream tickets are available for the performance on Sunday, Dec. 7.
Each year, Christmas at Luther features a different theme and music, performed by hundreds of Luther student musicians, including multiple choirs, the Luther College Symphony Orchestra, organ and Brass Ensemble. This year’s theme is “Fling Wide the Door!”
Andrew Last, artistic director of Christmas at Luther and director of choral activities for Luther College, explained that the theme comes from a hymn with the same title, which will be featured in the performance.
“As Christ calls us to welcome the stranger, the hymn reminds us not to observe restraint and peer through a cracked door. Rather, we open the doors enthusiastically and without caution to celebrate the arrival of the birth of Christ,” Last said.
Prospective music students may receive up to three complimentary tickets to attend the Christmas at Luther performance on Thursday, Dec. 4, through Luther’s Christmas at Luther Music Showcase Day. This program is intended for high school juniors and seniors interested in participating in music at Luther. The showcase provides a behind-the-scenes look at the performance, as well as opportunities to meet with students and faculty and audition for talent scholarships.
After the performances have ended, on-demand tickets for Christmas at Luther will be available for purchase, Dec. 13–Jan. 2, for viewing during the Christmas season.
Luther Dining Services is offering a holiday buffet featuring traditional Nordic cuisine in the Peace Dining Room, located on the second floor of the Dahl Centennial Union, prior to the Christmas at Luther performances. Tickets for the buffet may be purchased online or by calling the ticket office at 563-387-1357.
