2026-2027 Concert Series

A Season of Exceptional Performances

The concert series opens on Sunday, October 11, 2026, at 3:00 PM with Central PA’s own Jonathan Ragonese, composer-arranger saxophonist, will be joined by the Dalí Quartet – acclaimed for bringing Latin American quartet repertoire to an equal standing alongside the classical and romantic. Having reached enthusiastic audiences across the U.S., Canada and South America, the group will be performing a selection of masterworks and arrangements of American Songbook standards spanning multiple centuries and styles.

On Sunday, November 22, 2026, at 3:00 PM, enjoy an afternoon of a cappella music with Hershey’s own award-winning Parkside Harmony and Parkside Melody, featuring familiar favorites, toe-tapping harmonies, and a spectacular combined finale that will have you on your feet!

The holiday season is marked with a special concert. On Sunday, December 13, 2026, at 3:00 PM, audiences are invited to Christmas at Trinity, a beloved tradition featuring choirs, bells, FaithX, and orchestra under the direction of H. Timothy Koch. Early seating is encouraged for this popular holiday event.

Looking Ahead to 2027

The new year continues on Sunday, February 28, 2027, at 3:00 PM. Come celebrate Jennifer Sacher Wiley’s 10th and final season with the West Shore Symphony Orchestra! “Envision” features art songs by Joseph Cantaloube and Gustav Mahler sung by mezzo-soprano soloist Amanda Russo Stante. J. S. Bach’s Brandenberg Concerto No. 3, and Arturo Marquez’s flamboyant Danzon No. 2, will be conducted by guest conductor César Leal. Maestro Wiley will conclude the program with the brilliant Finale from Sergei Rachmaninoff’s Symphony No. 2.

Prepare for Holy Week on Sunday, March 21, 2027 at 4:00 PM during Candlelight Vespers for Holy Week with Trinity’s Concert Choir and Instrumentalists. The service of light is a dramatic portrayal of creation, when in the darkness God said, “Let there be light,” and of the new creation, when from the darkness of death, God called forth His Son. The darkness of chaos, fear and defeat, while strong and ever-threatening, is driven back by the coming of the light. The lighting of the candles is a re-enactment of creation and also of the resurrection.

On Sunday, April 25, 2027, at 3:00 PM, The Harrisburg Singers present America Sings! The spring concert will feature a cross section of American music. The wide-ranging program will include spirituals, gospel, folk songs, country, blues, pop songs, patriotic songs, and Broadway. The composers you may hear include George Gershwin, Moses Hogan, Leonard Bernstein, Mack Wilberg, and many others. Please join us as we remember and perform some of the music that has celebrated and defined what it means to be an American.

The season concludes on Saturday, May 23, 2027, at 4:00 PM with Points of Roguery. What started as Celtic Aire – the group’s identity within the United States Air Force – has carried the same four voices and the same unmistakable chemistry into civilian life as Points of Roguery, the band’s name for the stages, pubs, and festivals beyond the military circuit. Listen to centuries-old Irish and Celtic ballads, pop, rock, and country classics reworked in Points of Roguery’s own arrangements.
