That's a Wrap! Holiday Performances

Happy holidays to all of you! Whatever you celebrate, there’s great music for it, and we all want to hear it. Sign up for your shared time slot on the Perform page.

Wrap the Season

As we wrap up our semester and this wacky year, we will gather open-house style in socially distant groups of masked musicians and guests in the open air of my driveway. My digital piano will be ready for pianists, and there will be music stands and power for amps. A few musicians will share each twenty-minute time slot, and you will perform in volunteer order.

Once you have performed, you can wave goodbye or stick around a bit as you choose. Bring a camp chair if you’d like to sit a while — it’s cool as long as we follow the current guidelines by keeping six feet between household groups, staying masked, and not growing too numerous.

Wrap Yourself

Wrap yourself up in something fabulous.

Musicians and guests can (dress normally or) choose something like Christmas jammies, an ugly/fabulous sweater, reindeer antlers or Santa hat, or you could even be the White Witch from Narnia for that little something extra. What can you wrap yourself in that will surprise and delight? A fancy blanket? Actual wrapping paper? The bluebird sky is the limit. Whatever idea you have, try it. We’ll all love it.

That’s a Wrap!

Seeing each other in the flesh is long overdue, and hearing music unmuffled and un-delayed will be a holiday treat indeed. Speaking of treats, bring your favorite mugs, and I’ll pour you a delicious warm drink. Cheers, everyone.

So go practice! Plan your outfit! Choose your favorite mug, and get ready to wrap the year, yourself, and our ears in something lovely and warm.
