Faith In Brooklyn for July 28
Hymn Sings Offer Time to Explore Beloved or Unusual Sacred Songs
Grace Church-Brooklyn Heights continues its tradition of August Tuesday Hymn Sings, starting on Aug. 5.
The popular series, which began about 10 years ago, is presented this year on Aug. 5, 12, 19 and 26. Grace Church’s organist and choirmaster, Paul Richard Olson, leads an exploration of popular, new and even comical texts to the music sung in churches over centuries.
The Hymn Sings program has quickly become a neighborhood event, with members of Plymouth and First Unitarian Churches joining in. The hymn sings run from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in the Anne Versteeg McKittrick Choir Room, named for another beloved, longtime organist in parish history.
