Couch Concerts Christmas Special 2020

Couch Concerts is proud to present its first Christmas Special! This unique concert experience will feature a variety of musical works and ensemble combinations, the culmination of which results in a full-scale orchestral work. Some of the works featured include Saint-Saëns, Tchaikovsky, Dukas, Renie and Saxe & Wills. Due to logistical reasons & availability of musicians, we have opted to pre-record this concert. This also means we are able to stream it for the entire week preceding Christmas, so you may enjoy it at your leisure!

We thank our partners at Cassia Restaurant (Nitida Wine Farm) for graciously hosting us. We also extend a huge thanks and appreciation to the many musicians who jumped on board and made this event possible - without their faith and willingness to participate, we would have nothing. 

Have a very blessed Christmas in 2020!
