December 11, 2016 -

The MusicWorks Collective is joined by storyteller Val Tutson for a performance celebrating the winter solstice.  A reading of The Longest Night by Marion Dane Bauer will be accompanied by the music of Bach, Holst, Mozart, Vivaldi and more.

In Bauer’s award-winning children’s book, various woodland creatures attempt to bring back the sun on the longest night of the year. But it’s the chickadee’s gentle song that persuades the light to return, demonstrating the power of music.

Join us for this interactive hour-long musical celebration!

Pre-Performance Children’s Activities  at 2:15pm
Performance  at 3:00pm
Post-Performance Refreshments

Copies of The Longest Night will be available for purchase, with
illustrator Ted Lewin on hand for a special book signing.
