Please join us as the Somerville Museum presents its second Faith in a City community concert on Saturday, December 7th at 6:30 pm at The Center for the Arts at the Armory (191 Highland Avenue, Somerville, MA 02143). Tickets are $5. All are welcome to attend, including families.


Faith in a City is a project exploring religion in Somerville through music, photography, video, interviews and history as a way to better understand our community. The focus is how religion is meaningful to people across the City.


Religious music and recitation abound in Somerville’s places of worship, but congregation members are often the only people who get to experience them. As a part of the Faith in a City project, the Somerville Museum is presenting community concerts, providing an opportunity to hear some of the City’s religious music and recitation. We give tremendous thanks to the artists and religious leaders for sharing their talents, and to their congregations.


The December 7th concert features:
— Rabbi Eliana Jacobowitz and members of the congregation of Temple B’nai Brith
— St. Benedict Parish Girls’ Choir -- Mayra Lemus, Choir Director
— Mission Church of Our Lord Jesus Christ Gospel Choir -- Franklin Wright, Music Director; Dennis Wright, Choir Director
— Recitation by Keyzom Bhutti, Buddhist
— Imam Mohamed Nabil, Islamic Society of Boston


The concert will also feature photography by Massachusetts Cultural Council Photography Fellowship Finalist and Somerville Arts Council Board Member Yorgos Efthymiadis with support from Mass Humanities. Images above are by Yorgos Efthymiadis.


We hope you will consider attending! The reduced ticket price for the event is thanks to The Boston Foundation’s Live Arts Boston grant program.


Admission: $5. Free to Somerville Museum members and members of participating congregations. Tickets can be purchased online or at the Somerville Museum, 1 Westwood Road, Somerville. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-somerville-museum-presents-faith-in-a-city-community-concert-tickets-69451056981.
