The Painted Sky Music Festival and the Museum of Northern Arizona invite you to enjoy a Winter Solstice Celebration Concert on Wednesday, December 7 at 7:30 p.m. at the Historic Colton House. The two organizations are hosting this chamber music event as a joint fundraiser.
Northern Arizona University music faculty members Laura Barron on flute, Michael Sullivan on clarinet, Rita Borden on harpsichord, and John Burton on cello will perform works by Vivaldi, Bach, Handel, and more. Accompanying the music will be winter poetry readings by NAU Theatre Professor Dr. Robert Yowell and mulled cider, wine, and hors d’oeuvres.
Built in 1929, MNA’s Colton House is a 6,000-square-foot Spanish Colonial Revival-style rock lodge constructed by Hopi craftsmen using local malpais rock, ponderosa pine, and Douglas fir. Set in the forest among tall pines, the Colton House is on the National Register of Historic Places as an outstanding example of regional architecture.
Tickets for the Winter Solstice Celebration Concert are $75 per person and can be purchased by contacting Jessica Pope at 556-8711 before December 1.
