Experience the magic of an old time radio show as Texas jazz musicians Alex Coke, Suzi Stern, Rich Harney, and Evan Arredondo bring Dylan Thomas' beloved holiday tale to life.  Amidst the sounds of songs, toys, and improvised music,  A Child's Christmas in Wales sparkles with surprise,  inspired by the enchanting shortstory. Featuring soulful songs by pianist Harney and storyteller/vocalist Stern, the swingin' bass of Arredondo,  & the wondrous sounds of multi-instrumentalist Coke, we're hoping you'll join us for this annual holiday celebration.  Doors open at 2pm for this year's only public performance and parking is free in the spacious lot at First Presbyterian Church. All tickets are general admission cash/check with special rates  for seniors and kids under 12 so you can bring the whole family! Still holiday shopping? Give the gift of great music this season.                         We'll have CDs and holiday wrap on hand     to help you with the perfect gift.                    'Once upon a time, three Austin jazz musicians went Christmas shopping. They came home with snow, wistful memories of snow, tall quiet drifts of snow. They also came home with a storybook, a nostalgic Christmas tale by the Welsh poet Dylan Thomas. And they came home with toys: whistles and bugles and squeaky rubber ducks. The jazz musicians sat together with their gifts, their memories, their instruments. And then they created a piece of art - part music, part spoken word, part toy symphony ...'
