“Full of life and brilliant!” —The San Francisco Chronicle
Celebrate the winter solstice and its warm traditions with this joyous acoustic concert of original and traditional music! This year marks the 35th anniversary of the multi-platinum selling Winter Solstice album series originally released on Windham Hill Records. Grammy-nominated singer, fiddler, pianist, and songwriter Barbara Higbie is joined by composer Todd Boston and cellist Mia Pixley to lead this lively, holiday-themed performance.
The name “Windham Hill” is synonymous with some of the best in acoustic music from the 1980s and 90s. The label’s ten Winter Solstice compilation recordings have sold in the millions, and “changed people’s conceptions of seasonal music” (John Diliberto, Echoes radio show host). Today, Windham Hill’s Winter Solstice concerts bring the music full circle, decades after they were originally conceived on the Stanford campus.
