Join us for the fourth annual Winter Solstice Celebration with music and making! The solstice marks the official beginning of winter, yet traditionally, it was a time of celebration and renewal, marking the gradual but steady return of the light.
A modern twist on traditional Scandinavian practices, the celebration will feature art projects that bring light and joy to the longest and darkest night of the year.
- Join us in deSalle Auditorium for Grey Grant’s The Sun Stands Still, a sonic immersion celebrating the time of year when we enter and pass through the darkest night.
