Westchester Harmony Chorus

Hand & Heart
A Valentine’s Day Concert
Saturday, February 7th, 2026

Westchester Harmony is the brand new name of the Westchester Chordsmen. They have been singing throughout Westchester County and beyond since 1953. Originally called “The Golden Chordsmen”, that name was changed to “The Westchester Chordsmen” in 1998. Upon becoming an all-gender chorus last year, the group changed its name. The chorus solicited ideas, and “Westchester Harmony” was selected by a vote of its membership.

We are excited to bring them back as the Westchester Harmony Chorus with a program that features popular love songs from a wide range of artists and eras. They sing at concerts throughout the county. They also compete at the regional, district, and international levels. Let the Westchester Harmony Chorus make your Valentine’s Day special! Join us for an afternoon of great a capella love songs!

SPECIAL WORSHIP SERVICE

December 21, 2025, 10:00 AM

The BCC Chancel Choir will be performing Benjamin Britten’s “A Ceremony of Carols”, Op.28.

Daniel Leguizamon, BCC’s music director, conducts Britten’s choral masterwork on Sunday, December 21, at the regularly scheduled worship service. This timeless masterpiece, where ancient melodies entwine with modern harmonie,s traverses centuries and continents, embracing the magic and wonder of the holiday season.

One of the most famous choral works for choir and harp, A Ceremony of Carols was drafted by Benjamin Britten in 1942 on board a ship while crossing the Atlantic, heading home to England from the United States. He first conceived the piece for women’s voices and later added a few more movements. BCC’s Chancel Choir will be performing Julius Harrison’s arrangement for SATB choir and harp.

Harp soloist Liann Cline will be joining BCC’s Chancel Choir during this performance. Lian is a harpist based in New York and the Hudson Valley. She has performed with ensembles including the Grammy-winning 8-Bit Big Band, Greater Newburgh Symphony Orchestra, The Orchestra (TON), and Queer Urban Orchestra. She maintains an active teaching studio and can be heard on recordings, including Kalavala the Musical.

SPECIAL EVENT

Join us for an evening of toe-tingling tunes and spine-tingling stories—told in the glow of the sanctuary and accompanied by the eerie, glorious sounds of the organ.

This year’s storytelling lineup includes:

• The Valley of Dry Bones – A prophet walks through a graveyard… and the bones begin to rattle.
• The Witch of Endor – King Saul meets a mysterious medium with a message from beyond.
• The Spectre of Briarcliff Manor – A true tale from our own backyard (with a few twists and creaks).
• The Ghost Who Lost Its Buttons – A spooky story with a surprise ending… and proof in your pocket!

More mysterious than scary, this evening is for the curious, the creative, and the community-minded. Great for older kids, teens, and adults. Costumes welcome, refreshments provided, and all are invited to enjoy the playful side of the season.

Recommended for ages 9 and up. Some stories include spooky or suspenseful themes (ghosts, mysterious events, and dramatic Bible passages). Content is family-friendly, not graphic or gory. Use your discretion when bringing younger children.
