Social Band, in a first-ever collaboration with the Champlain Consort, will present a program featuring music and carols of the Spanish Renaissance inspired by the wintry season. Selections both choral and instrumental will encompass the solemn and celebratory characteristics of this time of year. Join us for a selection of delightful and enlivening songs and tunes of the season!

This December, Social Band is putting the "band" back in "Social Band" through collaboration with the Champlain Consort - a group of six early music musicians, led by Chapin Kaynor. The Champlain Consort performs Medieval, Renaissance, and Elizabethan music on period instruments. The members of the Consort perform on recorders, sackbuts (Renaissance trombones), viola da gamba, cornetto, capped reeds, and percussion, combining different types of instruments in "broken consort"; tradition to recreate the distinctive sound of English and European Medieval and Renaissance music.
Suggested donation $18. But that's just a suggestion. Pay less, pay more - whatever will make you feel good about joining us. We'll just be glad to see you!

Masks are optional. If you're feeling under the weather, please skip the concert and rest comfortably at home.
