Celebrate the season with an old-fashioned holiday concert as beloved folk duo Curtis Teague and Loretta Simonet present A Victorian Christmas. Performing in authentic Victorian costumes, the pair bring to life the warmth and charm of Christmases past with heartfelt vocal harmonies, classic holiday songs, and audience sing-alongs. Their program features a delightful array of traditional instruments—including folk harp, mandolin, mandocello, harmonica, and celeste, a rare 19th-century acoustic keyboard with a bell-like sound.

Based in the Twin Cities, Curtis & Loretta have been performing together professionally for more than 40 years, bringing joy and authenticity to audiences across the Midwest, East and West Coasts, and the South. Known for their sincerity, humor, and deep musicality, they have been featured at Minneapolis’ A Victorian Christmas and Folkways of the Holidaysat The Landing in Shakopee, and their holiday concerts are treasured by audiences of all ages.
