Nowell Sing We Clear December 12, 2008

Don't miss Nowell Sing We Clear with its unusual songs, carols, stories, and customs. Drawn mostly from English-language folk traditions, the songs tell both a version of the events and characters involved in the Christmas story and detail the customs which make up the twelve magical days following the return of the light at the winter solstice. Many of these ancient customs are the basis of the today's holiday traditions, such as visiting and feasting, gift-giving, carol singing from door-to-door and the adorning of houses and churches with garlands of evergreen.

The concert will start at 7:30 PM at All Soul’s Church, 1157 Lexington Ave, (at 80 Street), New York 10075. Concert admission is $25; Children and full-time Students (under 23) are free. Tickets can be purchased at the door, or on line at: www.nowell.eventbrite.com. For information call 718-672-6399 or look on the web at www.folkmusicny.org.
