The Ephrata Cloister Chorus Presents a Summer Concert in Newly Renovated Amphitheater
Saturday, July 19 at 6:30 PM

Join us for the first official performance at the newly renovated amphitheater on Saturday, July 19 at 6:30 PM for a Summer Concert by the Ephrata Cloister Chorus!

The hour-long program will feature a selection of music drawn from Ephrata Cloister, including original compositions by members of the historic community at Ephrata. Audiences will also hear pieces from broader early American musical traditions, as well as classical and contemporary pieces. The Chorus is directed by Mark Herr, with Juliet Mitton serving as accompanist.

Seating will open at 5:45 PM. While a limited number of benches are available, guests are encouraged to bring their own lawn or camping chairs for comfort and visibility. Blanket seating is not recommended to maintain clear sightlines for all attendees.

Admission is $5 per person, with free admission for members of the Ephrata Cloister Associates. Both cash and card will be accepted at the entrance. Free parking is available on-site, and both restrooms and the Visitor Center will be open before and after the concert.

This is a rain-or-shine event. In the event of inclement weather, the performance will be moved indoors to the historic 1741 Meetinghouse.

The Ephrata Cloister Chorus is a volunteer ensemble dedicated to preserving and sharing the unique musical traditions of the Ephrata community. Visitors are invited to enjoy this unique evening of song in a truly historic and atmospheric setting.
