Upcoming Concerts

Spring Concert:  Our spring season concert will be held at 5pm on Saturday, May 17 at the Harvard-Epworth United Methodist Church, 1555 Massachusetts Avenue, Harvard Square, Cambridge.

Under the direction of Nhung Truong, the Chorale will feature two very different works titled Magnificat. One is the notable piece by the Baroque composer, Antonio Vivaldi, set to the standard Biblical text. The second, by contemporary composer Dale Trumbore, is set to a poem that takes a surprising interpretation of the underlying story. Both will be accompanied by string quartet. Music from several different traditions but bearing on the theme of the spirit/soul will round out the program.

See directions and parking suggestions below.

Directions to the Concert and Parking

Walking/MBTA:

Harvard-Epworth United Methodist Church is located at 1555 Massachusetts Ave, Cambridge, opposite the north end of the Cambridge Common, and is about a 7-8 minute walk from the Harvard Sq. Red Line exit. (Please use crossing lights!)

The church can be reached by the #77 bus, which runs about every 17 min or less min at the time of our concert. Bus. The church is at the first stop (Jarvis St) as the bus exits the underground busway, Harvard Sq.

Coming from Arlington/N. Cambridge, get off at the last stop before the bus enters the tunnel (Waterhouse St.) and cross the street carefully.

Parking:

Harvard visitor parking will be available to our guests by on-line pre-purchase. You may purchase parking starting about a week before the concert or shortly thereafter. It is recommended that you not purchase your parking in a last-minute rush as it takes a bit of time to work through the Harvard website. The cost is $12 for the day.

It's a good walk from the garage to the church, so leave yourself an extra 10 min or so to park and get there.
