The Publick Pleasure Presents “Swedes, Souls and Sailors: Music of 17th and 18th Century Wicaco”
Sunday, January 19th at 3pm
Tickets: $30 general, $15 student (with ID), $5 Children under 12
Join Gloria Dei Church for a concert focused around Pennsylvania’s oldest church. Gloria Dei (Old Swedes’) Church was the spiritual hub of Swedish immigrants settled along the Delaware River. Old Swedes’ proximity to the port on the Delaware also made it a destination for mariners – both religious and rowdy! Featuring music of the Rudman Hymnal, the “Swedish Handel” Johan Helmich Roman, traditional Swedish songs and 18th century sea shanties.
Admission is $30 for adults, $15 for students with I.D. and $5 for children under 12. It includes a drink ticket for a beverage (alcoholic or non-alcoholic). Advance registration is highly recommended.
Meet-and-Mingle afterward at Riverside Hall
This concert will take place inside the church sanctuary, followed by a reception in nearby Riverside Hall. For a modest donation, you can treat yourself to delicious gourmet desserts there … and pair them with wine, coffee or tea while you chat with the performers.
