Jake Armerding Trio To Perform For Hingham Parishioners

Old Ship Coffeehouse artists Jake Armerding Trio opens their new concert series, Music at Sanctuary Hall, on Saturday, Nov. 12, at 8 p.m. at East Weymouth Congregational Church.

Jake Armerding has performed many times at the Old Ship coffeehouse in Hingham, and is looking forward to performing at a venue near Hingham for many parishioners from across the South Shore.

Here is a schedule of the band’s upcoming shows:

Saturday, Nov 12, at 8 p.m.

Grand Opening concert with Jake Armerding Trio

Jake joins his dad, Taylor, and brother, Jesse, for an evening of world-class music that stretches the boundaries of folk, bluegrass, rock, country, and even classical and jazz.

We're going to have special ticket prices: $15 individual, $50 per family, and $7.50 per ticket for groups of 10 or more.

We'll be serving coffeehouse, such as homebaked goods and fair-trade coffee at pay-what-you-can prices.

Advance tickets available at www.brownpapertickets.tom

Saturday, Nov. 26, at 6:30 p.m. FREE

Sacred, Secular, and Silly: Family Carol Sing

Bring the kids and grandkids for a great evening to kick off the Advent season. This is part of the annual Jackson Square Tree Lighting, and we combine the likes of "Joy to the World," "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town" and even "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer" to put across a very serious Christmas message. And bring an appetite for hot cocoa and freshly-baked cookies.

 Sunday, Jan 8, at 3 p.m. FREE WILL OFFERING

A Little Christmas in Jackson Square

Our annual, ecumenical gift concert in celebration of Epiphany Sunday, or Three Kings' Day. We'll have multiple choirs and soloists from churches all over town to celebrate our common faith and raise some always-needed funds for our friends at the Weymouth Food Pantry. Since 2003 we have raised more than $8,000.

 Saturday, March 31, at 8 p.m.  Admission charged

Boston String Quartet

These top-notch musicians were so taken with the acoustics in our sanctuary that they asked to record here. In return, they'll be donating their time and talents in this special return engagement. If you were one of the lucky few who attended the March 2011 concert, bring some friends for an evening of music like nothing you'd expect. We'll have very special admission prices.

Friday, May 4, at 8 p.m. Admission charged

Barbara Knapp Memorial Concert - Southeastern Philharmonic Orchestra

America's oldest community orchestra, which calls our church its rehearsal home, performs a  program of popular classics and classic pop. That means music that can include anything from the classics of Mozart and Brahms to opera music of Offenbach, the movie music of Ernest Gold, the showtunes of Rodgers and Hammerstein, and the jazz of Duke Ellington.
