Celebrate the holidays with inspiring music from the 1600's to the present. "A Musicological Journey through the Twelve Days of Chrismas" will delight the mind and rouse the body to stomp and clap, particularly with the interweaving of holiday text with Tchaihovsky's Nutcracker and Sousa's Stars and Stripes Forever!  Hear familiar carols beautifully arranged by living composers, and experience a spiritual transcendence induced by the worshipful settings of Sir John Tavener.

Traditional carols and music by Georg Philipp Telemann, Craig Courtney, Robert Kyr, Sir John Tavener, and Michael Praetorius.

"Here Comes the Sun", a Musical Tribute to Daylight Savings Time. Although we lose and hour of sleep on the day of our dinner concert, the extra hour of sun gives us hope for the coming spring. President Franklin Roosevelt instituted "war time" in the United States in order to saev energy for the demands of World War II. Come share with us the songs that gave comfort and hope during World War II, such as "Boogie Woogle Bugle Boy", "Sentimental Journey", and "You'd Be So Nice to Come Home To", along with more recent tunes that celerbate the war, such as the Beatles' "Here Comes The Sun" and Elton John's "Don't Let the Sun Go Down On Me".

If not for the sacred text, one would assume that the music on this program were written for the Met! Known mostly as opera composers, Puccini and Bizet, for example, wrote stunning music for church, and they did not hold back for the occasion. Come be thrilled by virtuosic arias and rousing choruses that were surprisingly written for worship! Music by Rossini, Bellini, Puccini, Verdi, Mascagni, Bizet, and Massenet.
