The Mecklenburg Historical Association Docents invite visitors who are interested in learning about and sharing history to attend their free program on Tuesday, December 6th, 2016 Hall of Sugaw Creek Presbyterian Church.
The Mecklenburg Historical Association Docents invite you to a special free holiday program, The History of Carols, at 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, December 6, 2016. A Christmas tea will follow the program.
Music is an important part of celebrating Christmas today, as it was in the past. The Myers Park Consort will treat us to a musical program. The group was formed at Myers Park Presbyterian Church in 2015. Consort members Julie Harris, Tammy Bucy, Gregg Miller, and Amy House all have extensive musical training and experience and are especially drawn to the Celtic and folk traditions of our early settlers. They will play Christmas carols using a variety of folk instruments including the bouzouki, hammered and Appalachian dulcimers, recorders, mandolin, Celtic harp, guitar, bowed psaltery, bones, hand drums, and finger cymbals. Members of the Consort will share historical tidbits, answer questions, and join us for tea.
Now Christmas comes, ‘tis fit that we
Should feast and sing, and merry be;
Keep open house, let fiddlers play.
A fig for cold, sing care away
And may they who whereat repine
On brown bread and on small beer dine.
– The Virginia Almanack
This year we will also share with children. If you would like to participate, bring a new unwrapped toy and we’ll donate them to Toys for Tots.
