If you're looking to escape the holiday hustle and bustle, head to the Norfield Grange in Weston tomorrow night (Saturday, Dec 15) for the 6th Annual Winter Solstice Concert from Music for the Planet. This musical quartet (drum, cello, flute and piano) will perform classical, jazz and holiday tunes. Because the concert is so casual and organic (no set songs or plan, they sort of just go with the flow and see where the music takes them), it really lends itself to the Norfield Grange, an old rustic building set deep in the woods. If this event is anything like their Summer concert that I attended back in July, you'll leave feeling really invigorated and connected to nature, a feeling that's hard to come by at this time of year when we're so focused on shopping, cocktail parties and keeping warm indoors.
The event is great for kids because at one point in the evening, the audience will be given instruments and asked to participate in the concert. In fact, the concert organizer, Randy Brody of Sound Directions, has gained a lot of experience with kids through his work at children's birthday parties* and schools around the state.
The performance will begin at 7:30 pm and tickets are sold at the door, but its recommended you get there early for a good seat. If you can't make the Winter Solstice concert tomorrow, you can still catch Sound Direction's monthly drum circle on Monday at 7:30 at the same place.
