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 an Echoes Winter Solstice.
Christmas is effectively over but we hang on to the spirit with music to help you settle in for that other “long winter’s nap,” the one that happens after the presents are opened, the food is eaten and the wine is drunk.
Celebrate the Christmas Eve with a different kind of seasonal music from Tori Amos, The Piano Guys, Al Di Meola’s Winter Nights, Enya’s And Winter Came, and R. Carlos Nakai’s Winter Dreams.
