Community Choral Concert
Saturday, June 14 at 7:30 pm
All Saints Parish, 1773 Beacon Street, Brookline
Brookline's Coolidge Corner Community Chorus will present a concert on June 14 at 7:30 pm at All Saints Parish, 1773 Beacon Street, Brookline. The William Byrd Mass for Four Voices will be featured, along with works by Runestad, Gibbons, and more. The concert is gratis, but donations of $10 to $15 will be gladly welcomed. CCCC is also delighted to announce that they have been awarded an Alfred Nash Patterson Grant from Choral Arts New England. They were particularly honored that this was a named award, the Richard Coffey grant. This grant is for commissioning and premiering a new choral work by Boston-based composer, Jackson Alfrey.

Afternoon Concert of Yiddish Music
Wednesday, June 18 from 1-2pm
Arnie Glick, accompanied by pianist David Sparr and clarinetist Glenn Dickson, will present a concert and educational program about Yiddish songs. The program will feature folk tunes and songs from the Yiddish theater, including one that started out in Yiddish and then later was re-written with English lyrics to become a huge worldwide hit. (Hint: the Andrews Sisters recorded it.) And, in recognition of the recent off-Broadway theatrical success of Fiddler on the Roof performed all in Yiddish, the program will include songs from that production. In addition, Arnie will share background information about the songs and their composers, and he will explain the meaning of the lyrics of each song. Please register at 617-730-2770.

We will gather at the gatehouse at Fisher Hill Reservoir Park at 7:00 p.m., embark on a guided walk around the park focusing on its design and flora, and conclude with refreshments back at the gatehouse while the a cappella group On That Note serenades us with some summer-themed tunes as we watch the sun go down until it sets at approximately 8:30 p.m. There is no limit on the number of participants in this ever-popular event, but please email to sign up in advance so that the BGSA knows how many people to expect:
