Greeting From President Mark Putnam

The show will go on.

Central College’s annual Christmas Candlelight Concert will look different in a year when so much already is. It will be pre-recorded and watched virtually instead of the traditional performance in Douwstra Auditorium.

For 46 years now, the Christmas Candlelight Concert has served as a celebration of the holiday season and the breadth of talent at the college. It always draws hundreds of enthusiasts thrilled to get into the holiday spirit.

I invite you to enjoy the sounds of our Handbell Choir, A Cappella Choir and Chamber Singers as they present what most certainly — and most deservedly — is one of Central’s most cherished traditions.

Thank you for starting the holiday season with us. From all of us at Central, we wish you and those you love a healthy and blessed holiday season.

Merry Christmas!
Mark Putnam
