Christmas Concert At Fort Concho Stables

SAN ANGELO,TX -- The San Angelo Community Band will be hosting a free Christmas concert on Sunday, Dec. 13.

“Our band members wanted to get together to offer some holiday music and we are thankful this large hall can meet all our health and safety needs,” said Band Director Constance Kelley, Ph.D., of Angelo State University’s music program.

In order to ensure a safe event seating will be arranged to mirror social distancing rules and masks will be required for all guests. Due to the city guidelines in place seating will be limited to the first 100 guests. 

This is the second concert the community band has offered since last spring due to the ongoing COVID pandemic. 

Music has been playing a central role in uplifting morale and providing comfort at Fort Concho since the 19th century.

“We are grateful for the band’s efforts to provide this concert to our community, even under the limitations we must operate,” said Bob Bluthardt, Fort Concho site manager. “While not a replacement for our annual Christmas at Old Fort Concho event, it will be among several smaller activities we are holding in the month.” 

The event will take place at the Fort Concho Stables Hall from 3:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. For more information, call the fort at 481-2646 or visit fortconcho.com.
