Imagine this: a crowd of friends and neighbors has gathered on one of the longest nights of the year. All is warm and cozy inside, while the cold winter wind blows outside. The chatter gives way to silence. And from that radiant silence emerges a song.
For the past nine years, Robinson & Rohe has hosted a Christmas musical gathering in their Brooklyn home. This year, they bring their midwinter magic to Saratoga, resplendent with a gorgeous set piece: a triptych of cut paper light boxes designed by illustrator Andrew Benincasa. Liam Robinson and Jean Rohe go deep into the Christmas repertoire: the mystical, the melancholic, the soulful, the sublime. Expect songs you may not know: haunting melodies of old Europe, joyful singalongs of the Southern US, and modern takes on the strange and ancient Christmas tale.
Both accomplished songwriters in their own rights, Jean Rohe (guitar, singing) and Liam Robinson (banjo, accordion, singing) let their finely crafted songs shine in detailed arrangements and elegant harmonies. Whether in small clubs or on festival stages, Robinson & Rohe performances are intimate gatherings in which listeners are invited to share in the musicmaking.
