Susan Osborn, back home on Orcas, performs at her traditional Christmas Concerts at the Victorian Valley Chapel

Susan Osborn extends an invitation to the public for her traditional Christmas concerts at the Victorian Valley Chapel.

Joining Susan will be Carolyn Cruso, hammer dulcimer, guitar, flute and vocals; and Ritambhara Tyson, cello and voice.  Music included in these concerts will be traditional Christmas songs and original seasonal pieces.

Of the concerts, which Susan has given for the past 22 years, Susan says, “We all seem to relax more deeply into the quiet of the valley and beauty of the moment together — so many sweet memories of walking out of the candlelit Chapel into the  night under starry skies or snow! at midnight to the sound of the Chapel bell ringing in Christmas.  We are also delighted that our friend, Seattle singer songwriter Larry Murante will join us for a couple of songs both concerts Christmas Eve.”

She adds, “We  are all looking forward to gathering with guests again in the Victorian Valley Chapel; only Thursday, Dec. 23rd is sold out. There are still tickets for the concerts on Wednesday, the 22nd at 7 p.m. and Christmas Eve at 7 p.m.  Christmas Eve at 10 p.m.has many tickets available, surprisingly, as this one has been our personal favorite through the years.”

Tickets are $20, children 12 and under are 2 for 1 and lap sitters free. (Purchase one ticket for every two children) They are available only online this year through Brown Paper Tickets.  You can go directly there, or go to my website: www.susanosborn.com and click on the link.

Susan says, “I hope that we will see you there in the valley as we celebrate in song the timeless story of the birth of light in the darkness.”
