Travel through time with us as we treat you to a millennium of music. You’ll witness a heartfelt moment between composer Richard Wagner and his wife Cosima on Christmas morning in 1879, followed by a scene of love’s longing in a frozen northern castle from Samuel Barber’s opera Vanessa, and then tread icy paths alongside Vivaldi with his Winter of 1717. Finally, we’ll warm your heart with popular and traditional holiday music with the Skagit Symphony Chorus, returning you home again in a festive mood.

Skagit Valley Chorale

Sunday, December 15             2:00pm

Nothing says “Happy Holidays” quite like Christmas lights twinkling off the brassy bell of a tuba! This Christmas we’re inviting a whole set of brass players to join us, with trumpet, French horn, and trombone also adding their distinctive colors. We’ll present exciting brass-accompanied classics like John Rutter’s Gloria and a gem or two from the late Renaissance, when brass and vocal choirs filled the great sacred spaces of Italy with the sound of cori spezzati, or “separated choirs”. We’ll sprinkle familiar Christmas tunes, quirky and beloved, through the performance, and get you singing with the brass, too.

Sunday, December 22         2:00pm

So much more than sugar plums! NBT’s 21st season kicks off with its holiday favorite ballet. Here is one previous review that sums it up: “We all know how the Christmas season can be. Time seems to just fly by. You rush around to get it all done, and then you’re left saying “It doesn’t feel like Christmas!” Well, one thing you must rush to do this December is to see The Nutcracker, a magical holiday tradition that is brought to life by the Northwest Ballet Theater, under the artistic direction of John Bishop. From the adorable pink mice and toy soldiers, charming snowflakes, fairies and flowers, to the delightful Spanish, Arabian, Chinese, and Russian divertissements, this large cast of talented dancers will enchant everyone. Bring your younger children to see this lavish production. You’ll find them twirling in the aisles!” –Entertainment Northwest.
