The Ephrata Cloister Associates will present its annual Day of Music from 1 to 3 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 11, on the grounds of Historic Ephrata Cloister, 632 W. Main St., Ephrata.

The event will highlight the rich musical legacy of the 18th century. It will feature original compositions by members of the historic Ephrata community, as well as selections from other early American musical traditions, European classical works, and global musical traditions.

At 1 p.m., Phyllis Sands will perform classical piano music in the Visitor Center auditorium. At 2 p.m., the Ephrata Cloister Chorus will perform in one of the community's most recently revitalized spaces, the amphitheater. In the event of inclement weather, the Ephrata Cloister Chorus performance will be moved to the 1741 Meetinghouse, the Saal. In addition to hearing the musical performances, visitors may explore the grounds and shop at the museum store.

Tickets will be available for purchase at the door. There is a discount for seniors and for youths ages 6 to 17, and admission is free for Ephrata Cloister Associates members as well as children age 5 and under.

Seating on-site is limited and offered on a first-come, first-served basis. Guests are encouraged to bring a blanket or chair and arrive early for the best seating options. The event will be held rain or shine.
