Holiday History and Caroling Party

Let your voice be heard through song in Thomaston.

Thomaston, Maine - Let your holiday spirit shine through by joining the Georges River Land Trust and the General Henry Knox Museum for caroling and holiday cheer on Saturday, December 14, at 6:30 pm. Carolers will be welcomed at the traditionally decorated Knox Museum in Thomaston, for an evening of holiday merriments. Tickets to the event benefit both organizations and are $25 for Land Trust and Knox Museum members and $35 for non-members. Tickets must be purchased in advance either on-line at GeorgesRiver.org/revelry or by calling (207) 594-5166.


Anthony Antolini, the Artistic Director for the renowned Down East Singers since 1991, will lead the caroling. Antolini specializes in Russian choral music and is passionate about helping people express their voice through music. Antolini lives on the St. George River and in 2002 worked with the Land Trust to protect 35 acres and a heron rookery through a permanent conservation easement.


Mr. Antolini will lead the group in singing traditional and modern carols in the Oval Room of Montpelier, a grand example of architectural elegance from the late 1700’s. He will be playing his 1782 Longman and Broderip harpsichord, made in London, to bring a period flavor to the musical accompaniment. Guests will be treated to festive desserts and holiday cheer for the body and spirit in this joyful atmosphere.


This is a Georges River Land Trust Revelry for the River event to celebrate life along the St. George River. The Land Trust will be hosting 16 new events in 2014, including industry tours, themed dinners, a contra dance, and a boat cruise.

Caroling concludes Knox Museum’s 2013 active season of public events -- all of them reflecting the Museum’s mission of honoring the life and times of Henry Knox, the important Revolutionary War General and cabinet member under President George Washington. Events connecting the Museum to the community will begin again in May 2014. Information is available at www.knoxmuseum.org.
