Sheepscot Chorus sings the Britten "A Ceremony of Carols" and other holiday favorites

Congregational Church of Boothbay Harbor
125 Townsend Avenue
Boothbay Harbor
12/07/2025 | 3:00 pm – 4:30 pm

Sheepscot Chorus invites you to their annual holiday concert on Sunday, Dec. 7, at 3:00 PM at the Boothbay Harbor Congregational Church. This concert features Benjamin Britten’s magical “A Ceremony of Carols,” performed with harpist Melody Lindsay, and conducted by artistic director Linda Blanchard. Tenor soloist David Myers-Wakeman and soprano soloists Jennifer Felkay and Marybeth McCaffrey will be featured.

“A Ceremony of Carols” was based upon poems found in the book “The English Galaxy of Shorter Poems.” Britten discovered this book during a stopover in Halifax, Nova Scotia, while on a wartime voyage back to England from the United States in 1942. Drawn primarily from medieval and Renaissance verses, these texts inspired Britten to compose this beloved work. Sheepscot Chorus will present the SATB version of the piece, which was approved by the composer.

Holiday pops favorites will round out the second half of the program. Co-director and accompanist Sean Fleming has a knack for bringing together top-notch musicians for our holiday pops orchestra, sure to set toes tapping!

Tickets are $20 (free for children and students) and are available at sheepscotvalleychorus.org, in Boothbay Harbor at Sherman’s Books and Stationary, and in Damariscotta Sherman’s Bookshop & Café. For more
information, please email info@sheepscotvalleychorus.org, or visit facebook.com/sheepscotchorus and sheepscotvalleychorus.org.
