RELIGION: Festival Chorus joins American Guild of Organists and neighbors for ‘Evensong’ service
It’s a story about music’s power to persevere through adversity.
The Cathedral Choir of Nativity Cathedral, Bethlehem, PA and the Roman Catholic parish of Sacred Hearts-St. Stephen’s Church are making it possible for the Cobble Hill Consort to present a long-awaited joint Evensong service.
Last spring, the Cathedral Choir had agreed to sing with the Cobble Hill Consort, the community chorus combined with the Christ Church parish choir. However, the ensemble’s home church, on Clinton at Kane in Cobble Hill suffered extensive damage last July when a lightning strike on the church tower last July caused a quarter of the tower to fall through the roof and floor of the church, and killed a passerby, well-known attorney Richard Schwartz.
