St. Paul's Music 2009-2010
Inspiring Music in a Sacred Space
We invite you to attend another exciting and diverse season of musical events at St. Paul's Episcopal Church. We welcome you to join us as we continue to celebrate our newly renovated worship space and glorious ninety-rank Casavant Organ.
During the 2009-2010 season, we will bring you a number of excellent artists, including the renowned organist and improviser, Gerre Hancock. In the spring, we have the privilege of hosting the Baroque ensemble, Music of the Spheres, as they celebrate the gifts of Stanley Ritchie. In May, concert organist Janette Fishell, Professor of Organ at Indiana University's Jacobs School of Music, performs as well. Throughout the season we continue to highlight local artists from our own community including the Indianapolis Baroque Orchestra, Indianapolis Pro Musica, and St. Paul's Choir.
St. Paul's Music is a self-supporting organization. All monies come from generous patrons, grants and our annual fund raising event, the British Soirée. Should you choose to make a donation, your financial gift will support not only our concert series, but our Choral Scholar program as well. With your assistance, St. Paul's Music will be able to fulfill its mission: providing an array of musical programs and opportunities to people of all ages.
