Come hear some familiar holiday music in an unfamiliar way! Also, get acquainted with the organ! Graeme Shields plays a collection of carols and contemporary pieces written for organ and inspired by the holiday season. Expect extended techniques and some sounds you're not used to hearing presented alongside familiar tunes that you'll be sure to recognize.

There will be a pre-concert talk and demonstration at 7pm about the music on the concert as well as a chance to ask questions, come up and see how the organ works, and maybe even to play the instrument with supervision (no experience required)! Concert starts at 7:30pm
