Performed by an orchestra of 20 local musicians, Twelve is a improvised work that will shift between 12 different conductors, while local artist Jay Lincoln constructs a concept structure to go with the musical tale.

MUSIC: The weather isn’t quite as white as it could be yet, but that doesn’t mean you still can’t take a break during your work day to enjoy some holiday cheer. Stop down to Hochstein (50 N. Plymouth Ave., hochstein.org) for A Cup of Good Cheer featuring Madrigalia. Music runs 12:10-12:50 p.m. and is free.
