Winter Schminter Solstice Concert

Featuring Tripp Sprague: tenor sax/flute, Irving Flores: piano, Fred Benedetti: guitar, Luke Little: bass, Elizabeth Schwartz: vocals, and Yale Strom: violin. All of humanity celebrates the winter solstice. Long before the Abrahamic religions emerged, tribal communities marked the darkness of the season with music and dance to rekindle hope for the return of spring. Tripp Sprague will honor this tradition with music from diverse cultures, including pieces as familiar as the American classic “Christmas Time Is Here” and as evocative as the Kurdish folk melody “Zivistane” (“In Winter”).
