Community Concert Series

​

Our annual concert series serves as an outreach to Hanover and the surrounding communities to introduce each and all to the beauty of Emmanuel and to offer the gift of music presented here.

You will be able to find details below and on our Events page. All concerts are held in Emmanuel's sanctuary and are free and open to the public—made possible by generous sponsors.

 

We hope you are looking forward to the coming concerts and thinking about becoming a contributor or sponsor. Thank you to those who have contributed to the current and past Concert Campaigns! If you would like to support the Concert Series, print the form found at the CONTRIBUTE button below and return by mail.

112th Annual Carol Sing

Sunday, December 18, 2022, 7 pm

​

A Hanover Tradition: Christmas carols sung and their stories (re)told by
Steve McKonly and Landy Grimm, accompanied by a live community

orchestra under the direction of Jamie Brown. This event will be

livestreamed on YouTube.

​

"The appeal of Christmas, the carol spirit—what a sense of kindliness and

genuine human feeling these old songs generate. For many, the charm of

Christmas is inseparably associated with the country; with thoughts of

frosty fields, of bells heard far away, of huge decorated pines, of carols sung
under starlit skies by folks of all ages gathered on street corners and in neighborhoods."
~Adapted from Christmas Carols songbook, John Wanamaker, 1925
