Our music director, Laura Thomas, has put together our program entitled “Winter Dreams” which everyone agrees is most appropriate for this time of year. Come and enjoy.
Our guest soloist, Julie Baumgartel, will be performing Winter by A. Vivaldi on her Paulo Antonio Testore violin made in Italy in 1740. Julie has performed with Tafelmusik and with orchestras across Europe, North America and Asia. She frequently performs with K-W Symphony and is concertmaster of Nota Bene Baroque Players.
