The Lyric Chorale offers musical treats for our audience this holiday season, as we share our concert with Mitzie Collins, hammered dulcimer, Roxanne Ziegler, Celtic harp and John Heyer, hurdygurdy, Scottish Small pipes, and recorders. Performing as the Nonesuch Ensemble, this versatile trio has been a popular feature for more than ten years at the Royal Ball held at the Strong Museum of Play. “We are delighted to bring the distinctive sound of our instruments to this musical celebration.”
The concert, “Carols With a Twist”, presents new and creative arrangements of common (and not so common) carols. Included are choral settings of “Fum, Fum, Fum”, “He Is Born”, and “Brightest and Best.”
A special treat is Craig Courtney’s “A Musicological Journey Through the Twelve Days of Christmas”, in which each of the twelve movements (days) represents a different period of western music, beginning with Gregorian chant and ending with a Sousa march. What might be viewed as serious and scholarly is actually light-hearted and amusing.
Join us for this festive and joyous holiday musical event!
