Children’s Concert: Aaron Larget-Caplan’s New Lullaby Project

Emmanuel Church has long been known as “the church of the people,” where “rich and poor, high and low, great and humble all worship and work together as friends.” It was originally established in 1841 as “Emmanuel Free Church,” meaning that anyone could attend, even those who could not afford to buy or rent a pew, the way other churches at the time were funded. As such, the Parish developed around the needs of all its cross-class members, from mill workers, domestic servants and fishermen to teachers, merchants, lawyers, and bankers. This magnificent Tudor Gothic Revival structure is on the National Register of Historic Places. Designed by architectural firm Cram, Goodhue, & Ferguson, the church was built between 1900 and 1902, thanks to a donation by Natalie Bayard Brown in memory of her late husband John Nicholas Brown, Sr.
