The holidays always seems to bring out the traditionalists in us all. Helicon - a Hammered Dulcimer, Wooden Flute, and Guitar trio - performs traditional holiday music from a variety of countries and cultures exceptionally well. The traditional Christmas pieces we all grew up with seem particularly warm and nostalgic when played in a simple "old world" musical setting. There is also a good selection of non-tradtitional holiday songs which provide the variety necessary to keep this concert from being just another "Christmas special".
