A Season of Light Holiday Concert
Advertisement
The Eureka Symphony opens Humboldt County’s winter festivities in grand style, with music chosen to warm our communal hearts.
We begin with Carol Symphony, a fresh take on traditional holiday songs by the English composer Victor Hely-Hutchinson. A true symphony in four movements that treats Oh Come, All Ye Faithful like a Bach Choral Prelude and makes God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen into a lively scherzo, these are traditional carols as you’ve never heard them before.
After intermission, the spotlight belongs to the incomparable Claire Bent, who will bring her signature versatility to a beautifully crafted Hanukkah medley and a set of holiday favorites, reimagined with charm, soul, groove and sophistication.
Claire Bent is a Humboldt County native who has been singing from a very young age, and has become a darling of our local music community. She performs at the top of the local jazz and funk scenes, delighting audiences with a voice that ranges from delicate to powerful. Claire is sponsored by Kathleen and Phillip Frankel.
A Season of Light is sponsored by The Redwood Legacy Group at Morgan Stanley.
During the Friday evening concert, we are honored to have renowned local plein air painter Stock Schlueter as our special guest. He will be painting during the concert in the opera window and his final painting will be raffled off at the end of Saturday evening’s concert. Raffle tickets will be available in the lobby.
This is a popular concert so we suggest you secure your seats well in advance.
