The annual tradition of the “Glencairn Sing” continues with a special online program. This unique concert video features the “Glencairn Horns,” other instruments, vocalists, readings from the Christmas story, and musicians performing music familiar to generations of audiences. Making this program especially festive and meaningful are glimpses of the Great and Upper Halls decorated for Christmas, as well as Nativities and Christmas art from the Museum’s collection, and a depiction of long-standing Pitcairn family Christmas traditions from the time when Glencairn was their home.
Raymond Pitcarin, the son of a wealthy self-made Scottish immigrant entrepreneur industrialist, would gather the entire community of Bryn Athyn at Glencarin, an amazing castle/home, for the annual Christmas Sing. Glencarin is now a museum with a wide collection of antiquities.
