Concerts At Old North
Old North Church is blessed with an extraordinary physical space – that is, our historic Sanctuary – widely acclaimed as an “acoustic gem” and considered to be an ideal venue for many different types of musical presentations.
​
Curated by Maria van Kalken, Minister of Music and supervised by the Music Committee at Old North Church, the annual Concerts at Old North has established a reputation among attendees and artists alike as one of the most sought-after concert-presenting organizations on the North Shore of Massachusetts. Concerts by well-established artists and ensembles are presented throughout the season, providing not only a beautiful space in which to perform, but an opportunity for the community of Marblehead – and surrounding neighborhoods – to enjoy superb performances, without travelling to Boston!​
​
Save the date! Our Lenten Choral concert takes place on Palm Sunday, April 13, at 7:30pm.
Rehearsals for the annual concert – featuring the Old North Senior Choir, Festival Chorus, soloists, and Orchestra – are well underway! Our choral centerpiece will be Dan Forrest’s stunningly beautiful Requiem For the Living, which was originally programmed in 2020, but abruptly halted – due to the Covid-19 pandemic. In the composer’s own words, this is to be performed “just as much for the living and their own struggle with pain and sorrow, as for the dead.”
