Come to 115th Sacred Concert

This Mother’s Day, May 10, NMH will host the 115th Concert of Sacred Music at the Auditorium on the Northfield campus at 2:30 pm. Music from many faiths will be played and sung, and songs will reflect the theme that personal struggle can lead to redemption. Beautiful music by Mendelssohn, Strauss, and modern composers will fill the large flower-filled space. Students and alumni will tackle the school’s song, William Blake’s Jerusalem, and the Northfield Benediction with pride in a tradition that has carried this event through 115 years. Sheila L. Heffernon directs the music program and Steven Bathory-Peeler leads the orchestral program. Marianne Lockwood, NMH’s director of piano studies, and Ludmila Krasin are the accompanists.

NMH is honored to host Sacred Concert. The school asks that any potential guests or participants who have flu-like symptoms or have been exposed to Influenza A (H1N1) protect the health of our community and refrain from attending the concert.
