It's just not Christmas without Peter Ostroushko! We've attended 4 of Peter O's Christmas concerts, and they are truly magical. This year there were fewer traditional Christmas pieces, and I enjoyed the variety. I wish., however, we were given a story before each of the Ukranian and Finnish numbers, as was done at the 2003 concert. Peter channels joy and peace wherever he appears. Although Anna Osroushko's vocals have improved since 2007, she does not share her father's musical gifts. She seemed out of place on the stage with professional musicians.
Peter Ostroushko's artistry is amazing. It was an awesome experience listening to him and the other musicians and singers in person. We enjoyed every number and loved the stories by Kevin Kling as well. We plan to make his holiday concert a new family tradition and plan to bring my sister and her husband next year as well.
Wonderful, relaxing music. Great atmosphere. Wonderful Christmas institution.
