The Candlelight concerts are one of the most beautiful holiday celebrations at Webb. Under the glow of the Chapel's candle chandelier, our singers and instrumentalists gather to perform and share their music with the community. Led by instrumental music teachers Linda Silva and Kyle Champion, this year's program included the Bach Double Violin Concerto, an Elizabethan Suite for woodwinds and the first movement of Beethoven's 1st symphony. Under the baton of Dr. Nina Gilbert, the girls of the Chamber Singers performed "This Little Babe" by Britten, and the boys sang Biebl's "Ave Maria." The entire group of singers and instrumentalists then joined forces to perform Mozart's "Ave verum corpus." The ensembles performed during both the WSC and VWS chapel, with an extended program for friends and family on Sunday afternoon. After the Sunday show, our generous team of parents provided a celebratory buffet for the performers and audience members.

The musicians are now resting up after their very busy week and are looking forward to a well-earned break (peppered with a little bit of practice, too - fingers crossed!) When they return in January, they'll start to learn music for the next concert. Happy holidays, everybody - may the season be filled with music, joy and cheer!
