Lansing Symphony to present Songs of Winter


By: Brittney Schering

The Lansing Symphony will present a very unique MasterWorks program called, "Songs of Winter" on Dec. 4 at 8 p.m. at Wharton Center for Performing Arts. The program features three works that set the tone for the holiday season, no matter how you celebrate.

Beginning with "Winter" from Vivaldi's Four Seasons, featuring Concertmaster Seunghee Lee, then the MSU Choral Union and Chorale will join the orchestra. Together, they will present John Rutter's When Icicles Hang, a great collection of songs using poetry to celebrate winter.

The final piece on the program is truly monumental: Ernst Bloch's Sacred Service (Avodath Hakodesh), which was the first large-scale setting of the Jewish Sabbath Service for orchestra, cantor, and chorus.

Tickets start at $12. Purchase them by calling (517) 487-5001 or online at www.lansingsymphony.org.
