CHRISTMAS SEASON

Thank you so much for watching and following these many concerts in the last year. You keep me inspired to continue this adventure wherever it takes us. We will be back in January with a concert with Gorse and another concert with an fine recorder quartet. Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones. May the new year bring you peace and satisfaction.
