The Gospel According to St. Mark's
From the Director of Music
Dear St. Mark's,

First off, I'd like to invite you to attend the annual Spring Music Studio Recital this Saturday, April 25, at 11:00 am in the Nave.  Numerous piano and voice students - some of whom are St. Mark's parishioners - will perform music they've spent weeks and months preparing.  Please come and support them!  The recital is free and there will be a reception afterwards. 

I've had a handful of parishioners recently ask me "you're doing the Jazz Mass this spring, right?"  Well...no.  Ike Sturm's Jazz Mass, which we did in 2012, was an awesome project, but it was complex and quite expensive.  While I hope we do it again at some point, we don't have plans to do it at this time.  The Chancel Choir sang the Earth Mass (Missa Gaia) in the spring of 2013 and 2014, but instead of doing it again this spring, we have tentative plans to do it this fall - specifically on October 4th, the Feast of St. Francis, which is the occasion the work was originally written for.  The remaining "special music event" of this season, then, is a beautiful Choral Evensong service on Sunday May 31, at 5:00 pm, which you are invited to attend.

Peace,
JEFF
