Master Chorale
Thursday to Sunday
There are lots of sounds to this season, but choirs always have a spot this time of year. The Master Chorale of Fargo-Moorhead presents this year’s Christmas concert, Let the Stable Still Astonish , this weekend at the Concordia College Centrum. The show will include classic hymns, spirituals and other works for the holidays. Tickets for the Friday and Saturday dinner shows are closed, but music-only performances at 7 p.m. Thursday and 2 p.m. Sunday are still available for $25, plus fees at masterchoralefm.com .
Lorie Line
Saturday

Lorie Line doesn’t sing much, but she lets her piano playing do the talking. For decades, her Christmas show has been the highlight of the year for fans. The shows have been scaled back over the years to focus more on her playing rather than elaborate productions, but the heart and talent are still as strong. One thing that’s changed is forgoing the “The Twelve Days of Christmas” and the show is recommended for kids 10 and older. The cheer starts at 3 p.m. Saturday at the Fargo Theatre. Tickets are $65, plus fees from fargotheatre.org .
