A time honored tradition, “Winter’s Gifts” is a celebration of the season as told through the glorious voices of The Choral Project and the moving music of the San José Chamber Orchestra. Winter’s Gifts: JOURNEYS will include music by Gabriel Fauré, Anica Galindo, J.A. Kawarsky, Joshua Shank, Randall Thompson, Ola Gjielo and others, and a feature by clarinetist Asaf Ophir.

Conductors Barbara Day Turner and Daniel Hughes collaborate to create this very special concert which has become a Bay Area holiday tradition in the breathtaking acoustics of Mission Santa Clara de Asís and the beautiful sanctuary of First Presbyterian Church in Palo Alto!

Don’t miss this stunning opportunity to celebrate the arrival of 2019 with the music of Beethoven, Copland, Mendelssohn and Gabriela Lena Frank shared with magnificent artistry by pianist Jon Nakamatsu, and father and son clarinetists Jon and Alec Manasse. A bubbly reception after keeps the holidays going!
