There are many lovely carols in our Christmas tradition that are rarely heard on the holiday airwaves or the ’round town carol singing.
Mair La Touche long had a keen, but unfulfilled, desire to sing those carols with others. Some were well known, some less well known:
songs like “O Come! Emmanuel”, “Un Flambeau, Jeannette Isabelle”,
“In the Bleak Mid-Winter”, “Lo! How a Rose E’er Blooming”….

Spurred to action one year, she collected an armful of favorite carols and called upon her friend Mary Barry Freedman.  The hope: to collect a group of friends and get singing together.  And so they did – very slowly at first. But, the next year, 2003, with the addition of another friend – a vibrant soprano and music teacher – a choir master was in place to help with the project, and the
Lambertville Traditional Carol Society was born!

At first, our small group sang carols around town but by 2006 had settled into singing in the Pub – not as a holiday performance but rather as a Traditional Christmas Carol Community Sing, with beer.

That rather spontaneous undertaking has now grown to a group of about fifteen friends as an a cappella choir which sings carols in season and more ambitious Baroque and Renaissance pieces all year.

Please come join us singing carols at the Pub at Christmas.
