Violinist, composer, member of the Lobster Cove String Quartet and AVC Artist-in-Residence Scott Moore looks forward to the concert:

“This time of year means a lot of things to a lot of people. There’s the magic of solstice time, the darkening of days, the liminality of a passing-away season, the feeling of all slipping away. There’s wood smoke and crystalline starlight, and the festivity of the holidays. There’s uncertainty and apprehension as we await a new year. And so we look inward; we find comfort in familiar patterns passed down from the deep past, and unexpected joys which reward our engagement with the present moment. And we rejoice that by joining together in music, we can share those moments with friends and strangers alike, with the ghosts of past and future. We remember that darkness cannot drive out darkness. We celebrate illumination, lux, light amid the dark. And we sing.”
