“They belong only to us” was Clara Schumann’s response upon first listening to Robert Schumann’s Kindersezen, “Scenes from Childhood”, alluding to the tenderness of childhood remembrances and music as a shared experience. CCM piano faculty Kitty Cheung-Evans retells this 1838 work and prompts listeners to create their own stories in this participatory event. Movement titles such as “Dreaming” and “Of Distant Lands” inspire the imaginations of today’s youth and kindle affectionate sentiments of childhood for adults, connecting all listeners with the art of musical interpretation.

Rejoice and be glad, for there is no fruitcake! This year’s event offers an array of storefronts that include Entitlements and Fine Firs, a collection of recently published books and an array of greenery, ornaments, and holiday gear, respectively.     Billed as a “divine” shopping experience with heavenly and heathenly refreshments, Trinity’s Parish Hall and Art Gallery will feature myriad talents of the parish and a collection of titled goods and bespoke service.
