The Times
St. Philip’s Episcopal Church will host Mostly Motets for a free concert of Christmas music on Sunday, Dec. 16 at 3 p.m.
Mostly Motets is a vocal ensemble made up of 11 musicians from the Yardley/Princeton area, singing under the direction of Timothy Carpenter. The organization was founded in 1996 as a sight-singing group, but it quickly evolved into a performing chamber choir with several concert engagements each year.
Many of the singers of Mostly Motets are former or current members of Princeton Pro Musica. Others have sung with the Princeton Opera Association, Westminster Choir, the Pearson Ensemble and various church and community choirs.
Mostly Motets’ ever-expanding repertoire includes a wide range of secular and sacred music, dating from the 1200’s to the present day. Most works are sung acapella or without instrumental accompaniment. However, the group has performed with ensembles of ancient string or wind instruments, with harpsichord or organ accompaniment and with the Newtown Chamber Orchestra.
All are welcome. A free offering will be taken for the outreach of St. Philip’s Church, located at 10 Chapel Road, New Hope. For more information, visit stphilipsnewhope.org
