Notes & Reviews:
As the cold and bleak winter days descend upon us, the Quadriga Consort presents long forgotten carols and age-old tunes of the festive season. With its arrangements for period instruments, the ensemble presents a program that is peaceful and reflective, and also merry and buoyant, conjuring memories of bygone days and awakening in us that sense of peace, wonder and excitement the Christmas season once held.
