For Hub City Times

SPENCER – The ancients knew the winter solstice to be a time when the sun’s light began its steady advance toward spring. Christians believe that around that same time, the Light of Christ came into the world.

In celebration of the winter solstice and its warm traditions, a concert of original music and traditional carols drawn from the multi-platinum selling WINTER SOLSTICE series will take place at Spencer’s LuCille Tack Center for the Arts on Dec. 15 at 5 p.m.

Windham Hill founder and Grammy-winning guitarist Will Ackerman; Grammy nominated singer, fiddler and pianist Barbara Higbie; guitarist Todd Boston; and cellist Mia Pixley will come together for the holiday event.

Reserved seat tickets for this performance are available through the box office at the LuCille Tack Center, 300 School St., Spencer; by calling 715-659-4499; or at lucilletackcenter.com.
