Many of these ancient customs are the basis of the today's holiday traditions, such as visiting and feasting, gift-giving, carol singing from door-to-door and the adorning of houses and churches with garlands of evergreen.  Performers are John Roberts and Tony Barrand, widely known for their lively presentations of English folk songs, and Fred Breunig and Andy Davis, well known in New England as dance callers and musicians.
  Concert admission is $25. Members admission is $20.  Full-time Students (under 23) are free .  Tickets can be purchased at the door, or on line at:  www.nowell.eventbrite.com.  For information call 718-672-6399. open printable flier (pdf, 600K)
