Advent/Christmas Music, 2020

by Bruce Ley, Candice Bist, SPPC Choir

The Advent Season and Christmastide this year were reflective and quiet. But that is not a bad thing for a season that is so often a time of rush and too much fuss. And there was still, the beautiful music of the season to enjoy.
