“At Home for the Holidays” brings light and joy to the holiday season with a multicultural celebration featuring holiday music from around the world. This free streaming concert marks the start of the winter solstice—a reflective opportunity which begins a new season. Under the direction of Music Director Christopher Wilkins, a chamber orchestra of 10 Landmarks Orchestra musicians will perform from GBH’s Fraser Performance Studio. The festive program includes works from Mexico, Puerto Rico, Europe, and the USA with African American spirituals and holiday music in the gospel tradition, and reflects traditions from Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa celebrations.
