CHRISTMAS WITH WARTBURG Christmas with Wartburg is far more than a concert, it’s an experience that engages every sense. Music, spoken word and visual art all intertwine to transform the moment into a movie-like atmosphere, capturing the wonder of the season. Inspired by a line in the beloved carol “O Little Town of Bethlehem,” this year’s concert reflects on the Advent candles that illuminate the hope, peace and joy found in the Christmas story.
