Visiting Choir to Perform

The Christ's College Choir of the University of Cambridge, UK, is performing at the First Congregational Church of Nantucket, 62 Centre Street, on July 7th at 7:30 p.m.! 

The concert is part of a celebratory tour the critically acclaimed vocalists are doing in honor of their University's 800th Anniversary.  Nantucket is being visited by legends; Gramophone Magazine proclaims the Choir, “Worthy of comparison with the best,” and San Francisco Classical Voice declares them, “Utterly polished professionals: a triumph.” 

Regularly broadcast on BBC radio, the singers take an international tour every year.  This performance's repertoire will span the range of English and European choral traditions from the Renaissance to the 20th century, including works by Scarlatti, Bach, Parry, and Britten. 

Tickets, which are available on the door or in advance by phoning the church office (508-228-0950), are $20 for adults and $15 for students and seniors.  For more information or directions, visit the church's website at www.nantucketfcc.org
