A Concert on Thanksgiving for the Gift Music

Past event
Nov 17, 2024, 4 to 5 PM

Looking for something uplifting? Why not come to this great concert! The Cathedral Church of St. Paul choirs (kids and adults) plus friends will sing selections for the season that have deep resonance in light of our recent election.

Presented by Cathedral Arts, Praise and Majesty will be held on Sunday, Nov 17 from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. at the Cathedral Church of St. Paul, 2 Cherry Street, Burlington. Suggested Donation $30 / Seniors $15 / student ID and children free. But from what I understand, no reasonable amount will be refused. Just know that your donation will help pay for the brass orchestra!

Join the Cathedral Choirs (adults and youth Choristers), guest singers, organ, brass quintet and tympani for a festival of thanks. This concert combines readings from C. S. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia, and secular and sacred poetry to celebrate music's role in our lives. The Te Deum, one of the oldest hymns of praise, is an Anglican favorite in C. V. Stanford's noble, stirring setting for the 1902 Coronation. Music by Flor Peeters, Arthur Baynon, Mary Plumstead, Hugo Distler, Nadia Boulanger, an Anglican Chant psalm, and a prayer for peace are joined by four audience-participation works. Brass and organ solo in Strauss's Festival Procession, Elgar's Nimrod in an act of Remembrance, and Widor's Toccata from Organ Symphony No. 5. This concert may leave you with a feeling of hope.

For further information: (802) 861-0244. cathedralarts.org. Tickets can be purchased in advance through Seven Days, and should be available at the door.

Hope to see you there!
