Festival of Lessons and Carols
2019-12-22 10:00 - 11:00 | Edwards Church of Northampton, 297 Main St., Northampton, MA, 01060, United States
The Edwards Church choir will present its annual Festival of Lessons and Carols service on Sunday, December 22 at 10am. This beautiful worship service combines readings from the King James Version of the Bible with carols and anthems sung by both the choir and the congregation. The Lessons and Carols format was begun in 1880 at Truro Cathedral in Cornwall, England, and it has continued since 1918 at King’s College, Cambridge.

Of particular interest in this year’s service is a new setting of “There is No Rose” by British composer Philip Stopford, who has become a favorite of the Edwards Church Choir. Stopford is the Director of Music at Christ Church Bronxville, outside of New York City.

Please join us in worship on Sunday, December 22 for this beautiful and meaningful service.

Blue Heron Concert
2026-02-20 19:30 - 21:30 | MA
In the 1580s, Ferrara boasted one of the most famous vocal ensembles in Europe: a trio of women known as the Concerto delle donne. One member, Laura Peverara, was so admired and beloved that she inspired two madrigal anthologies, published in 1582 and 1583. We present a selection of this rich repertoire, including music by Wert, Marenzio, Luzzaschi, and others. Learn more: https://www.blueheron.org/
