Solstice Singers "A Solstice Hallelujah"

Solstice Singers presents “A Solstice Hallelujah,” a pageant of songs, instrumental music, drama and dance celebrating the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States of America.

Performed in colorful period costumes, the program includes pieces that could have been sung or heard at the time of our nation’s founding, both in America and in Europe. The musical selections include contemplative as well as festive pieces for the celebrations surrounding the longest night of the year.

Solstice Singers will be joined by Ensemble Passacaglia, performing on an array of period instruments, as well as the children’s chorus Les Enfants du Soleil. An original mummers play rounds out the program, in which life is struck down by forces of evil (winter), only to spring to life again at the hands of a magical healer (spring).

The two performances take place at the Community Hall in Woods Hole at 68 Water Street on Saturday and Sunday, December 20 and 21, both at 4:00 p.m. Tickets are $25, $10 students, free under age 5, and are available at solsticesingers.org.
