Sunday, Dec. 16 at 3 p.m.: The popular Hershey Handbell Ensemble returns to St. Edward’s for a free holiday concert. This is a very popular program each year that draws a great crowd, so attendees are urged to come early to get good seats!

The concert is part of the Rev. Canon Stephen C. Casey Cultural Events Series. The series was named for Fr. Stephen upon his retirement. Although there is no admission price, a free will offering will be taken to help underwrite expenses associated with the series.

This year’s program will include arrangements of Gesu Bambino, The Twelve Days of Christmas, God Rest You Merry Gentlemen and more seasonal favorites.

We are very lucky to have the Lancaster Chamber Singers call St. Edward’s their “home” as their rehearsal space.  They enjoy our hospitality and find the acoustics to be exceptional.  Which is also why they utilize St. Edwards’ as one of their concert venues.  On Sunday, December 2^nd at 3:00 PM, The Lancaster Chamber Singers concludes its 40th anniversary year with “Festival of Voices and Brass.”  The ensemble will be joined by the Lancaster Brass Quintet and additional brass and percussion to present glorious sounds of the Christmas season from the 16th through the 21st centuries and will join the audience in several beloved carols.

Special presentation by the Lancaster Brass Quintet will begin 20 minutes prior to the concert.  Tickets can be purchased at the door or on their web site:
