Details

Celebrate the magic of the season with a festive concert featuring beloved winter classics and contemporary holiday gems. This enchanting program promises to warm hearts and kindle the spirit of the season.

Featured in these performances will be Randall Thompson's beloved Frostiana, a seven-movement work setting the poetry of Robert Frost to music.

Thompson's lyrical, expressive style perfectly captures the essence of Frost's words, creating a musical landscape as vivid and evocative as New England in winter.

Also included in the program is Eric Whitacre’s playful The Boy Who Laughed at Santa Claus, based on the poem by Ogden Nash, Sarah Quartel’s A Winter Day, featuring cello and piano, and carols arranged by Alexander L’Estrange.

Rounding out the program is a selection of seasonal favorites including traditional carols and modern holiday classics. From the jubilant to the serene, they celebrate the juxtaposition of joy and peaceful contemplation of the season.

*The Boulder performance does not include Sarah Quartel’s A Winter Day
