Winter holidays offer a wealth of seasonal music. Tonight’s concert honors a wide range of festivities, from Christmas and Winter Solstice to Hanukkah and Kwanza. The joyful music of Wintersong creates the setting for a warm evening of celebration with family and friends. Many of the songs will be accompanied by the glistening music of hand bells. Masterworks tonight welcomes back as our special guest artists the acclaimed Pacific Northwest hand bell ensemble, Bells of the Cascades.
