On the 291st Day of Christmas my true love gave to me...

Yes, I know it seems like yesterday when we were talking about Halloween and then I went and skipped Thanksgiving altogether, but I definitely wanted to be sure to wish you a Happy Hanukkah on this, the 2nd day of the Festival of Lights, before I get too, too busy with the release of our next concert video. And then I would blink and it would be January or February, and I would have forgotten, so I’ll do the rest of it now too! Merry Christmas, Joyous Kwanzaa, and Happy New Year. And while you are celebrating all the above, please watch our soon-to-be released video, An Early Christmas: A Video Premiere! See the details below!

Y’all stay safe and sane!

We are happy to present our first pre-recorded video concert of the 2020-2021 season. Partly because it was fun to work on and create and partly because it’s for Chanukah and Christmas, so, you know: Presents might be involved!

This is our favorite concert of the year, so please join us as we explore the intangible essence of Christmas and Chanukah though the ages, with music from Medieval England, Renaissance France, and more. TEMP puts its unique stamp on beautiful and joyful carols, chants, dances, and traditional songs with innovative arrangements for solo voices, small ensembles, harp, violin, flute, viols, and lutes, on video for the first time.

Featured soloists include Jenifer Thyssen, Shari Alise Wilson, Meredith Ruduski, Laura Mercado-Wright, Ryland Angel, Tim O’Brien, David Lopez, Daniel Johnson, and Cayla Cardiff. We are especially pleased that special guests Viktoria Nizhnik (kantele) and Darrel Mayers (guitar) could join us as well.

Early Music Now Host and Producer, Sara Schneider, will also present a personally crafted lecture during the video, with readings, historical notes, and fun factoids interspersed between sets of music.

Please join us as we reconnect with you through the magic of music.
