Community Christmas Spirit

Community Christmas Spirit
For the Saturday Self-challenge: Christmas traditions.

My wife, the furthest violin on the right, added her skills to a small volunteer community orchestra at a fundraiser at La Cite Francophone, in Edmonton. They played a Christmas music program that raised 1200 Canadian dollars for families in need.

My wife played professionally for years in orchestras at Christmas time playing Handel's Messiah, The Nutcracker Ballet, and even a Christmas concert with a jazz legend in our town at the local jazz club. Here she supports a group of amateurs in bringing good cheer for a good cause. Add to that the Christmas concerts of her piano and violin students and this season is full of musical expression.

There were many people surrounding the two levels of this public space.

It must be so nice to be married to somebody that can play music. Music is my life. Great shot as well.
