Shrewsbury – Sunday, April 29, “Benedicite,” a choral concert will be presented at the First Congregational Church of Shrewsbury, 19 Church Rd. The concert begins at 4 p.m.
The adult choirs of First Congregational Church of Shrewsbury, Trinity Church in Northborough, and Wesley United Methodist Church in Worcester will combine with the Worcester Youth Orchestras, area professional musicians, and the FCC children's choirs to present the contemporary English composer Andrew Carter's Benedicite. This delightful work with a very earth-friendly message calls on all the world to “Bless the Lord!” from the natural world of wind, snow and ice, as well as the world of living creatures, from whales to weasels, warthogs and wallabies, all the way down to butterflies and moths.
Several other works showcasing many of the participants will also be featured. The event is presented as part of the Arts on the Green concert series.
The suggested donation is $10 per adult and $5 per child and student. For more information, call 508-845-7286.
