This year we celebrate the eighteenth season of our concert series, which began in 1993 with a number of special services and concerts celebrating the installation of Emmanuel’s Harrison & Harrison organ. The parish welcomes everyone to the special worship services; there is no charge for these. Five events, the performances of Stephen Buzard, Tom Sheehan, Ahreum Han, Glenn Kime, and Ken Cowan, form a series. Regular Subscriptions to the five concerts may be purchased for $60 per person for adults, $30 for students and children, and a limited number of tickets will be available at the door. Please call the church office at 410.778.3477 if you would like to support Emmanuel’s Concert Series Announcements relating to weather emergencies or unexpected cancellations will be posted on the church's website. We regret that we are unable to contact our subscribers, patrons, and benefactors on an individual basis when such changes occur.
