Celebrate the season with a mixture of international carols, traditional melodies, and winter favorites.
At the free Holiday Delights CAFE concert at Sunrise Mountain Library, prepare to be surprised and enthralled as the ensemble showcases the full range of instruments in the flute family, from the rare 10-foot long contrabass flute to the delicate piccolo.
Sunrise Mountain Library
Beyond the enchanting seasonal melodies, they now invite listeners to touch, feel, and intimately explore the inner workings of both the C-flute and the 10-inch piccolo by sending demonstration instruments into the audience for examination!
Listeners will see their faces, hear their voices, and connect with them during a Q&A session. They introduce and demonstrate the silver flute family: contrabass, bass, alto, C-flute and piccolo.
Look forward to:
- Instrument introductions: each flute will be heard individually and then showcased as part of the flute choir sound
- Friendly, clear introductions to each piece along with interesting trivia about the music and composers
- Active engagement with the audience by asking questions, inviting comments, and encouraging singing and clapping.
- Feeling uplifted by sharing the joy of music
After the concert, listeners are invited to see the instruments up close and chat with the performers.
What a joyous way to start the holidays!
No admission fee, no tickets needed: first-come, first seated. Ample parking. This program will be repeated at Peoria Main Library at 3:o0PM the same day. The free concerts are funded through an Arts and Culture Grant from the City of Peoria.
