Songs of the Season
A Community Lessons & Carols

Church of the Holy Trinity, Rittenhouse Square
Free and open to all
Singing City invites Philadelphia to come together in song, celebration, and community spirit this holiday season. Artistic & Music Director Rollo Dilworth leads Songs of the Season, bringing voices from across the city for a joyful evening of beloved carols, meaningful readings, and shared reflection — all in the beautiful, historic The Church of the Holy Trinity, Rittenhouse Square, where “O Little Town of Bethlehem” was composed — a true home for holiday music in Philadelphia.
No musical experience needed — just bring your holiday cheer, your friends and family, to this FREE event! Carols will be taken from the Episcopal Hymnal in the pews, and a simple QR code will provide digital access to the evening’s selections. We’ll also honor the wider season with music celebrating Kwanzaa and Hanukkah traditions.
This year’s inaugural gathering is presented in collaboration with our Community Partners:
- ANNA Crusis Feminist Choir
- Chestnut Street Singers
- The Church of the Holy Trinity, Rittenhouse Square
- The Philadelphia Chorale
- Philadelphia Gay Men’s Chorus
Led by Singing City’s Artistic & Music Director, Dr. Rollo A. Dilworth.
In the spirit of the season, we invite attendees to bring non-perishable food items to support Holy Trinity’s food pantry, Broad Street Love, and Philabundance, helping neighbors facing food insecurity during the holidays.
Join us as we celebrate the power of music to uplift, unite, and spark joy — because every voice matters.
