"Christmas at Luther" production wins regional Emmy nomination

The 2012 broadcast of "Christmas at Luther: Tidings of Comfort and Joy" has been nominated for a 2013 Upper Midwest Regional Emmy® Award in the category of "Special Event Coverage."

This is the second nomination for the joint venture of the Luther College Music Department and Twin Cities Public Television.  The 2008 broadcast, "Christmas at Luther: Night of Glory, Dawn of Peace," won the award for the same category back in 2009. 

The 2012 performances featured all six choirs at the college, the Symphony Orchestra, and the Luther Ringers.

Each year more than 8,000 people attend the Christmas at Luther performances on the Luther campus.  In the past, the concert has been broadcast on almost 100 public television stations in 25 states.
