The Santa Barbara Prime Time Band is hosting their FREE CONCERT on November 20th at 2:00 p.m.

Honoring the past in an intersection of connection, community, and culture, this program offers a symphonic and visual homage to our region’s centuries old Chumash heritage from local composer and preservationist Cody Westheimer. Paired with Robert Schumann’s romantic musical gift to his future wife, the Piano Concerto in A minor, featuring world-renowned pianist and Santa Barbara favorite, Alessio Bax; Jean Sibelius’ Valse Triste; and Mozart’s inimitable masterpiece, Symphony No. 40, this repertoire delivers a deeply moving and moody tribute.

THE FRESHEST, MOST BEAUTIFUL CHRISTMAS TREES IN SANTA BARBARA: Trinity Lutheran Church Tree Lot continues a long standing tradition of offering the freshest Christmas trees in Santa Barbara. Come early to select your tree. Noble Firs range in size from 3 feet to 8 feet – something for an apartment or a large tree for a picture window. Trinity Tree Lot sells fresh-cut trees from Holiday Tree Farms in Oregon.
The Trinity Tree Lot opens November 26, 9 am and will remain open until 7 pm. The lot will then open weekdays 4 pm to 7 pm, and weekends 9 am to 7 pm until all trees are sold.
Workers will trim the trunk of the tree and help families load the trees into vehicles. The Trinity Tree Lot also features full, fragrant wreaths for sale.
The proceeds from the Trinity Lutheran Church Tree Lot benefit Trinity Gardens, a non-profit organization, who grows organic produce to meet the food needs of our community, and provides gardening and food education. The harvesting of garden produce is donated to the Grace Food Pantry. An orchard in the garden provides fruit to feed the hungry in Santa Barbara.
Funds raised by the Tree Lot also support Grace Food Pantry, which provides healthy and nutritional foods, including “kitchen-less kits” for clients who lack access to cooking facilities.
“It is such a great tradition to buy your family tree at Trinity Lutheran Church Tree Lot and know that you not only will get a healthy, fresh tree, but you are supporting two programs that help feed our neighbors who are food insecure,” says Pastor Mark Marius of Trinity Lutheran Church. “Christmas is a time of giving and the funds we raise from the Tree Lot at Trinity benefit so many of our friends in Santa Barbara.”
