Winter Solstice Celebration
Winter | Sunday, December 21st, 2025
St. Luke’s Episcopal Church Evanston
6:30pm Gathering / 7:00pm Performance
The EcoVoice Project rounds out its 2025 season with a celebration of the winter solstice. Our celebration will be centered around winter solstice traditions around the globe, across space and time. With candlelight, wassail, and solstice crafts, this collaboration with Climate Action Evanston, Interfaith Action of Evanston (Climate Change and Justice Working Group), Evanston Public Library (Blueberry Awards), The Musical Offering, 350 Chicago, and St. Luke’s Episcopal Church will include music, stories, and reflections on our connection with nature.
This year we are excited to premiere two new EcoVoice Community Songs, composed by Leah Shoshanah and Kaitlin Foley, who will also lead guest ensemble, the Evanston Folk Choir. In addition to community singing, musical offerings will include flutist Emma Hospelhorn, pianist Rick Ferguson, and vocalist Kirsten Hedegaard, who will perform peaceful winter interludes, and Indigenous storyteller Vincent Romero will share winter solstice stories.
We are a 2025 Climate Action Hero Awards Winner!
This award for climate advocacy through Arts & Entertainment gives support to our central mission here at The EcoVoice Project- that we can and should make use of what music does best. Music invites us in, compels us to listen and reflect, and moves us to action. It creates space through performances and dialogue to engage the complexities of our interaction with nature and the challenges our global ecosystems and climate face, and we could not be prouder of our work thus far and all we have planned for the future to continue our fight for a better future for our planet and all its inhabitants.
Thank you to the Climate Action Museum for this recognition.
