Celebrate Noel on Norway Pond: The Moment of Magic
Our popular annual holiday concert featuring our own Norway Pond Festival Singers and the Jr. Mints is back! In a program called "The Moment of Magic", sixty young and not-so-young singers will be accompanied by Mary Ann Fleming on piano with special guests John Muratore on guitar, harpist Haley Hewitt, Michael Day on marimba, and Steve Schuch on violin. The women of Norway Pond Festival Singers will be joined by tenors and basses for Conrad Susa's enchanting "Carols and Lullabies: Christmas in the Southwest". John Muratore will also play selections from his "Noël-A Classical Guitar Christmas", a top-selling holiday release. (Note: Students and kids are free, but please get them a ticket so we know how many people will attend.).
