December 10th brings us Light in the Snow: a Concert of Women’s Voices for Advent. Conductor Ian Watson will lead the program, featuring music of the season by Edward Elgar, Elaine Hagenberg, Peter Warlock, John Rutter and more.
The series concludes on Dec 17th with the Essex Piano Trio. The Trio will perform Music to Warm your Soul: sweet musical tidbits by by French and Russian composers of the late 19th and early 20th century, as well as some holiday treats from around the world.
