In the heart of the holiday season, Philadelphia’s Latino community is getting ready to experience a special evening filled with music, tradition, and cultural unity. Renowned singer and musician Alex Moreno, one of the most beloved and active voices in the local arts scene, will present his Second Christmas Concert, titled “Mi Cancionero de Navidad,” on Saturday, December 20 at 7:00 p.m., at the historic Church of the Crucifixion, located in South Philadelphia.

Alex shared details about his musical journey, his beginnings in traditional Venezuelan music, and his classical vocal training at the Simón Bolívar Conservatory, part of Venezuela’s renowned National System of Youth and Children’s Orchestras. Over the years, he has masterfully blended classical and popular music, always staying connected to his Latin American cultural roots.

Since his arrival in Philadelphia, Alex has been warmly embraced by the community. His career in the city includes performances at prestigious venues such as the Kimmel Center, the United States Capitol, the Harrisburg Capitol, singing the national anthem at a Philadelphia Phillies game, and his debut at Carnegie Hall in New York, solidifying his role as a Latino cultural ambassador.

The concert “Mi Cancionero de Navidad” will be a multicultural celebration featuring music in Spanish and English, with Christmas carols and holiday songs from Venezuela, Puerto Rico, Colombia, and other Latin American countries. The performance will be accompanied by an eight-piece orchestra, including violin, cello, brass instruments, Latin percussion, drums, piano, and bass. The evening will also feature a special appearance by the queens of Reinado Venezuela Philadelphia.

Beyond music, the event will include a strong charitable component. During the evening, a toy donation will be made to two local organizations: the Church of the Crucifixion and Philatinos Radio, which will distribute the toys to children from families in need, especially within the Mexican community.
“For us Latinos, Christmas means joy, dancing, parranda, and community,” Moreno shared, also recalling his holiday song “Todos Merry Christmas,” which reflects the festive and warm spirit with which Latinos celebrate this season, regardless of the cold.

Admission is completely free, although attendees are encouraged to reserve through the link available on Alex Moreno’s Instagram (@alexmorenosinger) or on Gente de Venezuela’s (@gdvphilly), for convenience.

This concert promises to be an unforgettable evening for the entire family, where music becomes a bridge between cultures and a gift to the community.

An open invitation to celebrate Christmas with lights, smiles, music, and solidarity.
