Winter Peace

Join Ancora for our December concert of music written for the winter season, including the eponymous “Winter Peace,” by Pacific Northwest Composer Donald Skirvin. Other meditative works on this concert include Edward Elgar’s The Snow and Don MacDonald’s Winter Sun. Lest we leave you without some holiday cheer, this concert will also feature PNW composer Laurie DeLeonne’s Winter Suite, in an arrangement of Mendelson’s Songs Without Words, setting texts by the composer that range from nostalgic to comic. We will conclude this concert with the winter movement of Ralph Vaugh Williams’ Folk Songs of the Four Seasons, including its serene finale, The Sussex Mummer’s Carol as we conclude the concert.
