SOLSTICE
December 21st, 2024
5pm (matinee)
8pm (evening)
Cathedral Church of St. Paul, Boston
138 Tremont st, Boston
On December 21st, Nightingale Vocal Ensemble presents an immersive concert that blends old-world traditions, folklore, and the timeless magic of solstice rituals. Many solstice celebrations centered on sacred fires, calling the sun back to the earth—renewal, protection, and the promise of Spring. This concert explores night’s place in our lives: a time for sharing stories, singing songs, confronting fears, and encountering both the divine and the terrible. Expect diverse music—beautiful, folk, strange, and lovely—movement through the space, and a communal sing-along around the fire. Come keep warm around the fire with us on the longest night of the year. This project is produced by Nicholas Ford.
