The Gibson Brothers: A North Country Christmas at the BOH, Dec. 8 The Barre Opera House welcomes back two-time International Bluegrass Music Association “Entertainers of the Year,” The Gibson Brothers, for a special holiday show on Saturday, December 8 at 7 p.m. The Gibson Brothers’ North Country Christmas shows have become an annual tradition in the Northern Adirondacks and this year they are taking this show on the road to Vermont, bringing family and friends along to celebrate the holidays with you. The Gibson Brothers brand of bluegrass is a visceral mix of heritage and soaring harmony, making them the premiere brother duet of the genre, following in the footsteps of legendary acts such as the Stanley Brothers, Jim & Jesse, and the Osborne Brothers. Leigh and Eric are part of the sixth generation to grow up on their Ellenburg Depot family farm in Upstate New York and they pen original songs with themes that have emerged from their farm life, their childhood, and the region in which they were raised. One can hear their dedication to the songs, from the lighthearted to the profound; in the modernity of the lyrics, matched with a virtuosity that feels somehow both traditional and revelatory. In addition to their Entertainers of the Year awards, The Gibsons have garnered IBMA “Songwriter of the Year,” • • • Mad River Chorale Presents Holiday Concerts The Mad River Chorale will present its holiday concerts, “Wintertide Carols,” on Saturday December 8, 7:30 pm, at the Waitsfield United Church/Village Meeting House and Sunday December 9, 3:00 pm, at the Waterbury Congregational Church/White Meeting House. Conductor Mary Jane Austin and pianist Alison Cerutti will be joined by Rebecca Kaufmann on harp and Katie Oprea on oboe for holiday music old and new. Mad River Chorale, founded in 1993, is celebrating the start of its second quartercentury this year. Numbering almost fifty singers, the community chorus has members hailing from fourteen central Vermont towns and sings a variety of beautiful and challenging music. December’s program will include pieces by Benjamin Britten, John Rutter, Morten Lauridsen, Randall Thompson, Stephen Paulus, André Thomas, and of course George Frideric Handel in the ever-popular Hallelujah Chorus from Messiah with voluntary audience participation. The musical program is eclectic: sacred and secular, rousing and gentle, familiar and less familiar, composed from the 16th century to the 20th, all chosen to welcome the holiday season. There will also be audience singalongs on familiar carols. Advance tickets are available at madriverchorale.net or 496-2048. Adults $15; Seniors 65+ and Students 12-21 $12.
