Christmas in Lancaster 2011  --   November 25 & 26th, 2011 at 8 pm  @ The Stahr Center in Lancaster, PA 

The Susquehanna Trio (flute/pennywhistle, violin/piano & cello), will be performing music of Christmas from the 1600's to the present at the Stahr Center in Lancaster PA.  The event will chronicle events  relative to the history of Lancaster, for example, "Sheep May Safely Graze" by JS Bach was being composed at the same time that the first road in the country was paved, Route 30.  During this time, Lancaster was known as Hickory Town.  From the earliest examples of Christmas music, such as “What Child is This” & the “Coventry Carol,” Susquehanna takes you on a 90 minute journey through Christmas.  From Classical to Folk, Pop & Jazz, this event will be treat for the entire family! 

NEW THIS YEAR:  A special showing of the original silent film version of "A Christmas Carol" will be shown, with a live score. It packs the whole story into 17 minutes!
