Hagerstown Area Religious Council
The Hagerstown Area Religious Council (HARC) is a coalition of churches and houses of faith in the Hagerstown area of Washington County.
The Washington County Consort will be presenting our Spring concert “Palestrina’s 500th Birthday Bash” on Saturday, April 12, 2025, at 3:00 pm, at St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church, 141 South Potomac Street, Hagerstown, MD. This will feature music by Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina (1525 -1594) plus several other composers of that time period. Palestrina is considered “The Real King of Sacred Music and the Eternal Father of Italian Music.” All are welcome to attend. Flyer attached.
Join us for HARC’s annual ecumenical Good Friday Unity Walk in memory of Christ’s passion and death. Walk begins in the gazebo adjacent to the Museum parking lot and ends at the “grotto.” There will be 7 stops with scripture readings and dramatic dialogue, music, and call-and-response songs between the stops.
