This year’s program features songs of Advent, Winter Solstice, and Christmas intertwined with readings of poetry and prose. Manitou Winds is comprised of five musicians playing 12 different instruments to create a collage of music textures and styles.

More than a concert filled with holiday themed music, “Winter Songs & Carols” explores a holiday season enriched by many traditions.
