🎵 🎶 🎶🎵 MUSIC NOTES 🎵🎶🎶 🎵
Join us this summer for the Summer Music Listener’s Group! Meeting 2 evenings a month during June, July, and August, this group will explore the pantheon of church music over the centuries through lectures and listening sessions. Please join us, all are welcome!
The August events will be held August 3rd and 10th at 7:30PM.
This morning’s musical point of interest: This morning we hear selections from Couperin’s Mass for the Parishes, an extended work meant to cover all of the music for a high Catholic mass. Although the chapel organ is not quite up to the task of replicating the myriad of colors present in a French Baroque organ, it comes pretty close, particularly in the excerpts we will hear today!
Upcoming Music Events
TODAY, Sunday July 16th: Cookout and music night outside here at St. James Food at 6pm (Bring something to share), then music at 7pm featuring Robert Ragoonanan, Barry van Engelen, Emma Rankine, Yi Chieh Anita Chiu, and more! Don’t miss out!
August 19, 7:30PM: Our music series begins again, with a passionate program of the music of Robert and Clara Schumann! Soprano Anna Valcour and Tenor Braun Oldenkamp will perform Robert Schumann’s Liederkreis and Gedichte aus Liebesfrühling, and Clara Schumann’s Sechs Lieder.
