Join us for an evening of virtual musical delights on the eve of New Year’s eve. More than ten exciting stars and stars-in-the-making share their talents for a richly entertaining program. Whether you crave Chopin or pine for Linda Ronstadt, this musical celebration brings together some of the most popular performers we’ve spotlighted at Pendle Hill New Year’s over the past ten years. Hosted by veteran workshop leader Karl Middleman (piano), the program features new artists on the threshold of expansive careers such as pianist Dynasty Battles and soprano Jessica Lennick. It also highlights the enticing ensemble, Dancefusion, and thrilling young violinist Lun Li.

“A Musical Celebration!” is offered as a ray of inspiration as we turn the corner on this challenging year. The event is also intended to support the Pendle Hill community. While the program is free for all, contributions will be gladly accepted.
