The Glencairn Christmas Sing Concert tradition dates back to 1937 when Raymond and Mildred Pitcairn opened the doors of their unfinished home to family, friends, and neighbors for a “Christmas Sing.”
Due to Glencairn Museum being closed for a significant infrastructure replacement project, this year's Glencairn Sing will not be in person. However, the annual “Sing” tradition will continue with a unique online program.
Some of the very best performances from previously recorded versions of the concert will be featured in the 2022 Glencairn Christmas Sing Online Concert program, including selections played by the incomparable “Glencairn Horns,” exquisite instrumentals, rich vocal pieces, and musicians and vocalists collaborating on spirited renditions of festive music beloved by generations of audiences.
New, never-before-seen portions of this virtual offering include powerful readings from the Christmas story, equally inspiring images of the Great and Upper Halls decorated for Christmas, Nativities and Christmas art from the Glencairn Museum collection, along with some history of the “Sing.”
Get a glimpse of recent photos of the dozens of Nativities from the Glencairn Museum collection on display in New Haven, Connecticut, at the Blessed Father McGivney Pilgrimage Center’s Christmas in the Castle exhibition. Finally, don't miss an all-new video featuring Glencairn staff sending holiday wishes from our family to yours through song.
We are grateful to be able to offer these digital options to a broader audience. In 2020 and 2021, over 8,000 devices viewed these professionally produced versions of the Glencairn Sing in countries all over the world.
The Glencairn Christmas Sing Online Concert will be available to members by registering for a link, which will be made live on Tuesday, December 13 at 7:30 pm, the day the concert would have been held under ordinary circumstances.
Registration is required 24 hours in advance and is free for all membership levels. Please click here to register to receive the private link to the concert.
If you are having trouble accessing the private link to the Member Premiere on the night of the event, please e-mail info@glencairnmuseum.org, and a staff member will help you.
