New York Christmas Revels Show |
 In mid-December a few members attended the New York Christmas Revels Show. Branch member Cynthia Shaw is the show's Music Director. The theme of this year's show was a classic Russian folk tale The Fool of the World and the Flying Ship. The story followed the travels of a simple hero as he soared over Eastern Europe to accomplish the near impossible tasks set forward by the Czar to win the hand of his beautiful daughter. Along the journey the audience was treated to a colorful array of winter solstice customs, folk music, festive dances and costumes of Russia, Ukraine, Georgia , Poland , Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria and the Czech Republic! Another branch member Carol Doley, who attended the show, later wrote: It was an absolutely lovely afternoon and the audience was filled with many children and their families. All the children were well behaved. You even had an opportunity to win a prize with the purchase of a chance(s). Everyone in the show was so welcoming to the audience. The accordion music reminded me of my grandfather. I just loved the performances of everyone. | |
