As we continue our lead-up to the next presentation of Concerts On The Hill, Shaker Harmony: Celebrating 250 Years of the Shakers in America, we are proud to highlight that this concert will put on display all four of St. John's choirs: The Parish Choir, the Chamber Choir, The Choir School at St. John's, and the Cherub Choir. All of our choral ensembles are hard at work putting the finishing touches on what promises to be a beautiful, exciting, and engaging journey through a wide range of songs from the Shaker music library, carefully and lovingly selected by Kevin Siegfried, Jennifer M. Mulhern, and Olin Johannessen.
