The 42nd annual Sturgis Community Christmas Concert is planned for Sunday, Dec.12th at 2:00 pm in the Community Center Theater. After almost two years of postponements and cancellations of arts events, this will be one of the first concerts since the pandemic began. We are anxious to host an event that will keep both musicians and audience safe but will still give participants the joy of public music absent so long from us in our community.

Church musicians from Sturgis and Whitewood will be sharing the gift of music. Each choir is preparing individual selections and will unite in a mass choir number conducted by Toby Rath, choir director at Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Whitewood.

In order to keep ourselves, our friends, and our families safe, we suggest that the audience may consider wearing masks because of the close proximity in the theater and to socially distance themselves as much as they are able.

All are invited to this free concert. An opportunity for a donation will be available at the door. Please plan to attend and usher in the Christmas season with this traditional community event. We have missed performing for an audience.
