Welcom Yule! Concert

Saturday, December 19th, 2015, 7:30pm

“Welcome Yule! – A Midwinter Celebration” returns to the Gloucester Unitarian Universalist Meetinghouse on Saturday, December 19 at 7:30 PM.

This event is part of the 2015-2016 Concert and Lecture Series to benefit the Gloucester Meetinghouse Foundation’s Preservation Fund.

“Welcome Yule!” is a delightful family show filled with music, dance, songs and stories for the longest night. It features carols, wassailing songs, dancing, a mummers’ play and a Yule log procession performed by the Welcome Yule Chorus, Children’s Troupe and Folk Orchestra.

Welcome Yule! was first produced in 1985 in Greenfield, Massachusetts by founder/artistic director Rose Sheehan. It has continued as an annual Franklin County holiday show ever since.

Sheehan, a Gloucester resident of 11 years and director of Folk Life Studio, produced a Gloucester-based “Welcome Yule!” in 2014 and is thrilled to bring the production back again in 2015.

Ticket prices are $15 for adults; $10 for seniors and children five through sixteen; $35 family cap; age four and under free. Tickets are available at the door or in advance by clicking here

The GMF Annual Fund is dedicated to raising the resources that are necessary to run the organization.  In 2026 the Meetinghouse will reach 220 years in service to Cape Ann, a miraculous survivor and centerpiece of the Historic District.  Our successful and ongoing mission is to preserve it as a cultural venue, civic hub and community gathering center. 

We are mostly volunteers but our paid executive assistant, Ashley Shedd, provides invaluable and efficient office support.  We also incur significant costs for building use, graphics, web hosting, marketing, advertising and other essential services.  This year we will be hiring additional professional staff for enhanced program growth, grant-writing, development, and planning for the upcoming Capital Campaign. 

Your generous contributions to the Annual Fund are central to facilitating our vision for a completely renovated and updated Meetinghouse, complementary to the new Sawyer Free Library and expanded Cape Ann Museum – an incomparable resource capable of hosting as many as 500 participants for community-focused forums, events and performances. 

Delivering on our great aspirations depends upon you.
