We will start in the sanctuary for Choral Evensong and then move to the Commons for food and fun.
Sign up here!

Do you know a child aged 8-10 who might be interested in singing? The Chorister program at Trinity Church offers an extraordinary opportunity to learn music, singing, leadership, teamwork, responsibility, commitment, have fun, and to see the world! Choristers learn about the faith and engage in the life of the church through their active leadership of worship. Parents often say that the Chorister program is a deeply transformative experience for their children.

Isabelle Demers, concert organist
2026-04-24 19:30 - 21:30 | Church, 206 Clarendon St.,, Boston, MA, 02116, United States
Come hear one of the most exciting and virtuosic organists of our day. With playing described as having “bracing virtuosity” (Chicago Classical Review) and being “fearless and extraordinary” (Amarillo-Globe News), Canadian-American organist Isabelle Demers has enraptured critics, presenters, and audience members around the globe for her exhilarating performances.
Presented in collaboration with the Boston chapter of the American Guild of Organists.
“There was none of Reger’s signature density in Demers’ extravagantly contrasted and orchestral registrations …[which] were impeccably structured. Demers played the whole recital from memory, and her phenomenal playing and obvious affection for Reger’s music communicated strongly. There is no shortage of organists who make their instruments roar; and while her power was never in question, Demers made the instrument sing.”
(Peter Reed, Classical Source.com, England, 2016)
