“Welcome Yule” is a pageant of carols and songs, instrumental music, drama, and dance in the spirit of the Renaissance. Performed in colorful period costumes, the program celebrates Christmas and the winter solstice, the longest night of the year. Joining Solstice Singers this year are Duo Passacaglia and guest instrumentalists, several traditional dance teams, and the children’s chorus.

This year’s program centers around the joy of the Yule season and the natural changes that occur over the course of the year. The theme of the “four noble trees” and the forces of nature feature prominently in the musical selections. The program also includes many of Solstice Singers’ popular classics, such as The Boar’s Head Carol, Lord of the Dance, and We Wish You a Merry Christmas, along with other evocative pieces in celebration of the season. Artistic Director Lore Loftfield De Bower says, “We are exploring a wide range of musical styles this year, all focused around a joyful Yule season.”
