On Dec. 10 at 10 a.m., join us for the choir’s performance of Conrad Susa’s “Carols and Lullabies: Christmas in the Southwest,” under the direction of First Parish Music Director Polly Oliver. The voices are supported by harp, marimba, and guitar, which combine to create a beautiful sound, in turns soothing and energetic. The work explores the Christ child’s birth through Spanish-language carols and rhythms. The Rev. Deborah Bennett will deliver a homily entitled “The Sound of Harmony.”
