You’ve heard all the carols in all their variations. But tonight we’re going to celebrate a different part of the season, one that’s rooted in the stars. It’s the winter solstice which happens on December 21. It’s the time when night and daylight are equal making for the shortest day and longest night of the year. We’re going to celebrate that with a winter landscape in sound, with no carols or Christmas songs, just a glistening expanse of evocative music to carry you through the longest night of the year. There’s a lot of wonderful new music this year including Smoke Fairies Wild Winter and Bryan Carrigan’s Fall into Winter. There’s sure to be some R. Carlos Nakai, Agnes Obel, and more.
