Vienna - Christmas, Castles and Cold - Part 5

After Schonbrunn palace, I headed back to the center where I wandered through 2 more Christmas markets and one church, St. Peter's where I thought I'd stay for the free organ concert, but headed back to St. Stephen's for my musical experience in Vienna.  You can't be in Vienna without hearing some classical music.  Plus it was Christmas and St Stephens had classical and Christmas carols.

Christmas lights....ahh Christmas.

I spent about 15 euros on an obstructed view seat at St. Stephen's for the concert.  It was pretty cold in the church, but worth it.  The orchestra played one classical piece, followed by a Christmas carol and a choir.  It lasted about an hour, alternating songs.  Here are some of the videos I got of the music:
