illuminating the stillness of the season
Step into a world of warmth and reflection with A Winter’s Light — a concert that celebrates the stillness, sparkle, and spirit of the season. This intimate program is crafted to evoke the wonder of winter, a time when nature slows and music becomes a source of deep connection. A Winter’s Light offers a chance to pause and be fully present in the glow of the season.
Featuring works by Corelli, Hummel, Brahms, and Vaughan Williams, the program also includes the world premiere of Ether by rising composer Oliviana Marie — a piece that captures the ethereal stillness of winter. Join us as we reflect, rejoice, and reconnect through the quiet beauty that only winter can inspire.
