St. John’s Episcopal Church

Celebrate the time of the longest nights with this delightful 
seasonal performance of Solstice stories and songs from around the 
world. Award-winning storyteller Diane Edgecomb brings to life the 
enchanting traditional tales told at Solstice-time from the poignant 
Greek legend The Halcyon Days of Peace and humorous English 
Wassail traditions to the Tanzanian story of how the animal kingdom 
brought light and life during the darkest times. Accompanied by Margot 
Chamberlain on Celtic harp and multi-instrumentalist Tom Megan, the 
performance resonates with original melodies and new songs for the 
Solstice as well as beautiful arrangements of traditional songs evoking 
the magic of the season. A winner of both the national and regional 
Oracle awards for her storytelling, Edgecomb brings passion, humor and 
depth to her retelling of these ancient tales. After the performance, 
complimentary seasonal refreshments will be served. This captivating 
celebration of the Solstice has been a beloved Boston tradition for over
 thirty years.
Performances are held in the Parish Hall at Saint John's Episcopal Church. <a href="https://www.simpletix.com/e/the-winter-solstice-in-story-and-song-tickets-242163" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Get tickets here!</a>
