Holiday Music Festival 2022

2022’s Holiday Music Festival saw the return of some of our favorite traditions, like an Open House where families took refuge from the weather to warm up with hot cocoa and friendly faces, and a Messiah Sing where a full chorus, orchestra, and soloists came together to embody the music. Dozens of family members from across the street and around the world tuned in to watch recitals on Zoom, reminding us of the silver linings of the past 2 1/2 years. We also created new traditions, like taking our Songs of the Seasons classes ‘caroling,’ with classes in five different venues to spread the holiday cheer around the Upper Valley.
