8:00 p.m. in St. Mary Church
We are pleased to announce that the
internationally-acclaimed Barker College Choir & Orchestra from
Sydney, Australia will perform at St. Mary’s on their U.S. tour! Their
trip begins in Boston with performances at Boston Latin School and
Faneuil Hall Marketplace as well as workshops at Boston University and a
Sunday morning service at Old North Church. This visit will be
profoundly memorable for one particular Barker student, performing for
the first time in the city of her birth.

The event was scheduled at the request
of Barker choral director Peter Ellis, who had read of our organ
restoration project in the Boston Globe and reached out to Parish music
director Daniel Sauceda. Barker College maintains an active engagement
with its local community and is committed to maintaining this
engagement whenever it sends groups on tour.
