A Victorian Christmas concert at Playhouse The Wagon Wheel Playhouse will help families to gather together with a Victorian Christmas Concert on Friday, Dec. 18, at 7 and 9 p.m. The concert will feature “Dear Friends,” a vocal-instrumental ensemble specializing in popular 19th-century American music. The program will recreate the setting of a family’s parlor and the events that occurred on Christmas Eve in that special room. “The parlor,” explains Jean Thomas, the flutist of the group, “was the focal point — the center of entertainment. The occasion of Christmas would have made this common practice more elaborate, more festive.” Drawing on the resources of the Stephen Foster Memorial’s extensive collection at the University of Pittsburgh, “Dear Friends” combine sound scholarship with musical virtuosity for their performances. They have been seen in such reputable places as: The Smithsonian, The Carnegie Institute and the Governor’s home. “Dear Friends” encourage their audiences to participate in singalongs and appeal to people of all ages. The concert tickets are now on sale. For more information and reservations, call the ticket office at 267-8041.
