Jake and Taylor Armerding Begin Music at Sanctuary Hall Series

The first concert in the Music at Sanctuary Hall series will take place at East Weymouth Congregational Church in Jackson Square on Saturday, November 3.

The five-concert series will feature a wide range of music, now through May. Christmas carols, patriotic tunes and the annual Barbara Knapp Memorial Concert by the Southeastern Philharmonic Orchestra will be included this year.

On Saturday, Jake and Taylor Armerding will start the season with their eclectic music that crosses jazz, classical, folk, bluegrass, rock and country.

“Jake and Taylor have performed all over the world, at some of the most storied venues, including Passim in Cambridge,” said Victor DeRubeis, founder of the series and music director at East Weymouth Congregational Church. “We may not have the musical history of Passim, but we can offer a superior acoustical setting with comfortable seating and no obstructed views.”

Doors open at 7 p.m. for coffee and dessert and the performance will begin at 8 p.m. Tickets, which are available at the door or at brownpapertickets.com, are $15 individual, $50 per family and $10 per person for groups of 10 or more.
