All tickets $15.

New members are always welcome!

The December selection is The Paris Architect by Charles Belfoure. Publisher's description: In 1942 Paris, architect Lucien Bernard accepts a commission that will bring him a great deal of money--and maybe get him killed. All he has to do is design a secret hiding place for a wealthy Jewish man, a space so invisible that even the most determined German officer won't find it. He sorely needs the money, and outwitting the Nazis who have occupied his beloved city is a challenge

New participants are always welcome.

This month's discussion is on A Christmas Return by Anne Perry.

As Charlotte Pitt's grandmother, Mariah Ellison, finds herself investigating a long-unsolved slaying, it becomes clear that grappling with intrigue and foul play runs in the family. A festive Christmas package left on Mariah's doorstep contains an ominous present, sparking memories of a twenty-year-old murder that shattered her friendship with the victim's widow.

In keeping with the theme of the program, snow and ice are the inspiration for several pieces, such as "Winter Rhapsody" and "On a Snowy Winter's Eve." The concert also offers music of the holiday season, such as "It's Beginning to Look Like Christmas," "Three Holiday Scenes," and "Hanukkah Highlights." "The Polar Express" features music from the film of the same name.

Refreshments will follow the program.

The ESWE, conducted by Charles Thai, is an all-ages community concert band that always welcomes new members, without audition or fee. Monday-night rehearsals resume on Jan. 6, 7:00-8:30.

$20 online and $25 door/phone
