All Saints’ Peterborough is delighted to announce Homecoming: A Tapestry of Story and Song, an upcoming performance as part of our 150th Anniversary Celebration. This special evening will feature the All Saints’ Choir alongside returning ‘Choral Scholars’ and former choir members, in a night of music and community connection. We are thrilled to welcome local storyteller and beloved performer Megan Murphy, who will weave together heartfelt tales and entertaining anecdotes throughout the night.

The concert will showcase solo performances by Melody Thomas, Ryan Hofman, Emma Mansell, Julia Johnston, and Will Lamond, accompanied by pianist Kelsey Van Blarcom. These talented vocalists, who once sang with the All Saints’ Choir as high school students, gained valuable experience and musical growth during their time with us. Now, they return to share their gifts once more with the community that helped shape their musical journeys.

This evening promises to be an unforgettable blend of beautiful music, meaningful stories, and the warmth of reunion. The concert begins at 7:00 p.m, on Saturday, May 3rd, and tickets are $40, with all proceeds supporting our ambitious anniversary goal of raising $150,000 to mark 150 years of All Saints’ ministry and presence in the community.
