    2026 Epiphany Concert

    Depart 2pm Apt. Suites Lobby for Lancaster Church of the Brethren

    Cost: $8, transportation - Donations accepted at concert

    Mark the end of the Christmas season with a special concert. Epiphany commemorates the Three Wise Men – or the Magi – and their visit to baby Jesus.

    This year’s Starlight Tea Epiphany Concert will feature the church's Chancel Choir and Carillon Bell Choir, the Wrightsville Brass, organist Margaret Marsch, members of the Elizabethtown College Concert Choir, and other guest musicians. 

    The highlight of the concert will be Stephen Chatman’s “Christmas Joy.” Commissioned in 2005, the work begins with an instrumental fanfare quoting several familiar carols. Linked together by a motif, the work includes several familiar carols including “Good King Wenceslas,” “Here We Come A-wassailing,” and “Nouveau Nouvelet.” Also part of the work are the reflective tunes “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel” and “Lo, How a Rose.”  

    This 14-minute master work will be part of a larger concert that will include music from the Carillon Bell Choir, anthems sung by the combined choirs, organ pieces performed by Margaret Marsch, and congregational singing. 

    The Starlight Tea Concert Series is supported by patrons and offerings received at concerts.
