Original Oil Painting “Candlelit Chapel” by David Densmore
Once again we will be gathering in the Victorian Valley Chapel on Orcas Island to celebrate Christmas and the Season in song, December 22, 23, and 24 at 7:30 p.m.and also on the 24th at 4p.m. We added this early concert so off island folks and people with young children could attend.
Tickets are $15 and children 12 and under are free and are available online at Brown Paper Tickets, and in Eastsound at Siren Boutique. I will be joined this year by Melody Funk, bass, vocals, and keyboard and David Densmore, uke, tenor guitar and vocals.
And, of course, all of you! (ie. The Twelve Days of Christmas!) Hoping you can gather with us in this intimate candlelit celebration of Christmas and the returning of the Light.

This time of the year there is quite possibly nothing more beautiful than Susan Osborn’s voice singing in the light while inside this storybook chapel. I will have to find a way to hold on to that image and that feeling from a few thousand miles away.
Nancy, you’re right on the mark! Susan, Melody, David D and David R created a wonderfully magical experience for those of us in attendance at “opening night.” And we can only express the gratitude for what we all share in common, even if you happen to be away from Orcas Island right now. Seasons’ Greetings, everyone!
