Our final concert of the season will feature the incredibly versatile and multi-talented harpist Charles Overton. Equally at home in an orchestra or in a jazz club, his performances have been lauded as spontaneous, dazzling and innovative. Mr. Overton aims to create a musical environment that is accessible, exciting, and resonates deeply with audiences. From lush and romantic works like Andante Religioso by Henriette Renie and Ravel’s Introduction and Allegro, to Eric Satie’s meditative Le Fils Des Etoiles, jazz standards, and a new work by Mr. Overton himself, you will be amazed by the beauty and versatility of the harp. The program will conclude with a new, uplifting Song for the Spirit by Kevin Harris. This Winsor tradition asks the audience to sing along and will be a joyful way to end this sure to be memorable evening!
