The holiday spirit soars in the North County every year since the 1930s, as the prestigious Crane School of Music presents an annual gift of beautiful music. Students of music education and performance stage their Candlelight Concert every winter, before a live audience at the SUNY Potsdam school, and an even wider audience of Mountain Lake PBS viewers.
This year, nostalgic tunes from festive movies and classic TV specials aim to enliven your celebrations. Here’s a preview of what the Crane Chorus, the Crane Brass Ensemble and the Crane Symphony Orchestra will present to those wanting to trim the season with song.
Enjoy Crane Candlelight Concerts, past and present, on the PBS app and on Mountain Lake PBS.
