O Mystery of Winter Skies

James Falzone brings his unique style back to Saint Mark’s with an exploration of the winter night sky, the mysterious, expansive starlit beauty of God through a new, original musical composition for penny whistles, string quartet, and the medieval, stringed vielle, inspired by folk and celtic music.

Please note that in-person ticket pre-sales end 90 minutes prior to the concert.
