Near Nellysford
Nelson County, Virginia
One of the most highly anticipated events put on by Wintergreen Performing Arts is their annual Christmas music. This year WPA organized The Virginia Consort – A Blue Ridge Christmas. NCL”s Valley Photographer Hayley Osborne attended Sunday’s performance and grabbed some of the shots you see here.
According to WPA’s website:
A Blue Ridge Christmas, concert-goers heard the Consort’s signature mix of music written to celebrate the Christmas season, spanning five centuries and three continents, and including 21st century settings of Medieval chants, a Baroque-era motet, well-loved carols, engaging folk-hymns, and rousing spirituals.
Hayley’s photos are wonderful! Thanks!!
We have been to the past dozen or so of these and this year’s was totally over the top. By far their best ever!!! I’m sorry that it consisted of only one performance in C’ville and one in Nellysford. The world needs to hear this. Judith Gary is at the top of her game. And this performance was a gem!
So this marks the beginning of the Christmas season. Thank you Larry Alan Smith. Thank you Wintergreen Performing Arts. Thank you Judith Gary.
Merry Christmas to Wintergreen and Nelson County. Peace on Earth.
