Winter Peace

Ancora's December concert celebrates the magic of winter.

Join Ancora for our December concert of music written for the winter season, including the eponymous “ Winter Peace ,” by Pacific Northwest Composer Donald Skirvin. Other meditative works on this concert include Edward Elgar’s The Snow and Don MacDonald’s Winter Sun . Lest we leave you without some holiday cheer, this concert will also feature PNW composer Laurie DeLeonne’s Winter Suite , in an arrangement of Mendelson’s Songs Without Words , setting texts by the composer that range from nostalgic to comic. We will conclude this concert with the winter movement of Ralph Vaugh Williams’ Folk Songs of the Four Seasons , including its serene finale, The Sussex Mummer’s Carol as we conclude the concert.
