Performance Venue
Our primary performance venue is in the sanctuary of the Carlisle Congregational Church. Seating is in a herring-bone arrangement which provides for ample audience accommodation. It also places the audience relatively close to the musicians for a more intimate listening experience.
A pull-down screen was used to show snap-shots of life in the year 1915 during the performance of Samuel Barber's "Knoxville: Summer of 1915."
