Maria Schneider’s music has been hailed by critics as “evocative, majestic, magical, heart- stoppingly gorgeous, and beyond categorization.” Her debut recording, Evanescence, was nominated for two 1995 Grammy Awards. Her second and third recordings, ‘Coming About’ and 'Allégresse' were also Grammy nominated, 'Allégresse' being chosen by TIME and BILLBOARD in their Top Ten Recordings of 2000, inclusive of all genres of music. Her most recent recordings have brought two Grammy Awards, the first for 'Concert in the Garden' (Best Large Ensemble Album), released only through her website (an ArtistShare® site). It became historic as the first record to win a Grammy with Internet-only sales. The second Grammy was awarded for 'Cerulean Skies' (Best Instrumental Composition). • Yule Feaste: We still have tickets for the Yule Feaste. We have sold half the tickets already.

It tells the story of a nurse whose empty life is changed by her patient, John, who expands her understanding of Christmas. ‘The Forgotten Carols’ are original songs from the perspective of characters such as the innkeeper who turned the young couple away or the shepherd who slept through the angel’s announcement. Their personal accounts, until now, have been overlooked or ignored. Together, John and Constance discover what the world has forgotten about Christmas.
