Carols & Wassailing, 12/14
Thursday, December 14, 2017
6:00-7:30 pm
Come sing in Christmas with our wintertime sing-along! We’ll enjoy hot cider and treats while sharing carols and other Christmastime tunes! Our host, Saro Lynch-Thomason, will teach a few songs from English wassailing traditions, a practice going back to medieval times in which peasants would sing for cider, gifts and food at the homes of nobles. We will also sing carols collected from the Appalachian Mountains. Participants are welcome to bring seasonal songs good for singing in groups!
BRAHM’s galleries will be open until 7, and you are welcome to stroll through before caroling.
Admission is free, though donations are always appreciated!
