Music: Sun Dec 2

No, it’s not a typo. TWO pieces entitled “Curious Story” kick off December’s monthly theme of Curiosity. And, for those of you brimming with sufficient curiosity to arrive by 10 a.m., a family-friendly “Music for All Ages” presentation looks at the connection between invention and curiosity in music written by J. S. Bach for his eldest son nearly 300 years ago. The CUUC Choir is also on hand with music from diverse religious traditions. Read on for programming details.
