Description

A Contemplative Chant Series

The Old Sloop cordially invites you to a FREE event series of contemplative chant performed by Artist in Residence Gillian Hurst.

These are trying times, and these sessions offer the community a safe space to be and to process.

Each session will last approximately 45 minutes and attendees are welcome to come and go as they please. All are welcome!

These are quiet events, so if you or anyone with you needs to make some noise, please exit the sanctuary and return when ready.
Donations gratefully accepted!

Gillian finds joy in working with diverse communities to create experiences that help us better understand the past. Gillian is an active choral musician and soloist and has performed at Symphony Hall, The Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, Verizon Hall, Spoleto Festival USA, and across the UK.
