Revels RiverSing

Hosted by Revels music director George Emlen, this year’s RiverSing features the dynamic singer, pianist, song leader, and educator Dr. Kathy Bullock, all the way from Berea, Kentucky! Joining Kathy on stage is soloist and songleader David Coffin. For the first time, the Stan Strickland RiverSing Jazz Quartet will be our featured band. Stan has graced the RiverSing stage (and Sun-Moon boat!) for many years on soprano saxophone and as a vocal soloist, and we are thrilled to welcome him back this year as bandleader. Ken Field and the Revolutionary Snake Ensemble will fill Herter Park with their joyful sound beginning at 5:00 pm as our family activities begin.Rounding out our roster are the Revels RiverSing Chorus, the Revels RiverSing Children – and YOU! Bring your best voices. Song sheets will be available online and onsite so we can all sing along!

Herter Park offers free parking, a pop-up Beer Garden, and a concession stand for snacks and drinks. You are also welcome to bring your own picnic to enjoy!

Revels RiverSing is a Rain or Shine event. In the event of unsettled or severe weather, Revels will post updates on its website and phone (617-972-8300).

Ticket types: This is a free, general admission event – no tickets required!

Rave Reviews

Modern life tends to separate us from one another. Yet nowhere is the strength of diversity expressed more completely than when our voices come together in song. I am inspired by Revels’ reminder of our commonality and delighted to celebrate the gifts of nature and community at RiverSing.

Noel Paul Stookey

I have treasured memories of being at RiverSing, of bringing folks together. We need this uplifting salve more than ever.

COVID Policy

With the rise of COVID variants in our area, people are understandably concerned about safety.

Our performers will be fully vaccinated or masked during the performance. Christian A. Herter Park is under the jurisdiction of the City of Boston, so we will continue checking the rates of infections and make adjustments to our policy as needed.
