This new album that showcases the singers of Trinity Church Boston, the historic 1,500-seat Episcopal Church in Boston’s Back Bay. The title comes from “O Little Town of Bethlehem”, the famous text penned by Phillips Brooks, the storied nineteenth century rector of Trinity Church –  yet the release has a contemporary feel that showcases the choir’s commitment to inclusivity, community, and musical excellence.

Conducted by Colin Lynch, this recording features music performed every year during the choir’s Candlelight Carols concerts, a tradition that dates to 1909. In addition to arrangements of traditional carols (including ones by Bach Week Festival founder Richard Webster), arrangements by women and composers of color anchor the program. They include American composers B.E. Boykin, Jessica French, Jessica Nelson, Rosephanye Powell, and rising British star, Yshani Perinpanayagam.
