Program Notes
As exhilarating as a brisk race across a frozen lake, this selection will brighten the spirits and turn up the excitement this holiday season. Imagine ice skating around a lake where winter festivals are taking place. In one community you'll hear Jingle Bells, in another you'll hear folk music and in yet another you'll hear Deck the Halls. As you race to the center of the lake, you'll hear the music of all three celebrations in a grand seasonal finale.
