QUIRING IN THE NEW YEARThe Quiring Chamber Players
An annual (and usually sold-out) tradition at Evergreen, Quiring Chamber Players (Reg Quiring & Rosemary O’Connor) bring together special guest musicians for a new Chamber Music concert each year to celebrate New Year’s Eve. Complete with sparkling wine and dessert with the audience, it is a magical evening of music.
