The Trust Project What is this? MOORHEAD — Concordia Choir's Christmas Concert is celebrating its 100th year, and its iconic backdrops have long been part of the performance. This year, concert goers can take the backdrop home in a thousand little pieces as the choir is selling puzzles designed from the scene. ADVERTISEMENT The iconic hand-painted murals have been part of the performance for 80 years. Josh Mathisen / WDAY It's the first time they'll sell the artwork as a puzzle, but choir director Michael Culloton says it likely won't be the last. "For, I will say, decades people have been saying 'It would be fun if we had a puzzle of the mural,' and I'd go, 'I don't know, not sure we have time for that,'" he said. "Well, this summer we made a little bit of time and found a way to get that done." Puzzles are for sale now just outside the Concordia Choir Room on campus and will be available before each concert while supplies last. The concerts are set for Dec. 4-6.
