On December 24, Peter Sprague is on track to give Del Mar the same gift he’s given us every year since 1978:a free concert that brings together musicians from Peter’s deep bench of musical collaborators for a freewheeling, spirited celebration of music, community and the holiday season.Weather permitting, the 47th edition of this festive tradition will kick off onDec. 24 at 1:00 pm. at the Jim Watkins Amphitheater at L’Auberge. The Del Mar Foundation is sponsoring this year’s performance.
A two-page feature in the December 2011 Sandpiper celebrated the 33rd anniversary of this magnificent gift from Sprague. For a stroll down memory lane and a good dose of inspiration, read that feature here: delmarsandpiper.org/Sprague2011.
