Description:
Join Revels and the Charles River Conservancy for a free community sing celebrating the first day of fall!

From atop the Weeks Bridge linking Boston and Cambridge, and bathed in light, on Sunday, September 23rd, Revels music director George Emlen (and giant puppets Oshun and Poseidon) will lead everyone gathered along the banks of the Charles in river songs and songs of the season.

The 4th annual RiverSing will be a festive musical affair. Joining us on the bridge this year will be members of be Nick Page’s Mystic Chorale, Revels Circle of Song, the Halalisa Singers and other Boston area choruses, all accompanied by keyboard, guitar, bass and drums. In addition, local saxophone greats Stan Strickland, fresh off his award-winning one-man show, and Ken Field of The Revolutionary Snake Ensemble, will play antiphonally across the Charles with a third sax, played by Chris O’Brien, joining in as well. The public is invited bring a bell to ring in the new season (we’ll ring our 40-pound River Bell) and join the many singers, musicians and friends of the parklands in this exciting fall tradition that literally links Boston and Cambridge in song!

Picnics are encouraged! Come early and spread your blanket on the grass or meet us at Winthrop Park in Harvard Square at 5:00 pm where select area restaurants will be handing out pre-ordered picnic meals. Then join us for a 5:45 pm processional down to the Charles led by larger-than-life puppets created by the Puppet Collaborative, and local jazz legends the New Orleans-style Second Line Social Aid and Pleasure Society Brass Band.
