UPCOMING MUSIC EVENTS
Rendez-Vous Orchestra
Springtime Sojourn
Saturday, March 28 — 7:30pm
Join the Rendez-Vous Orchestra on a musical journey this spring with three symphonies that span centuries and styles. Mozart’s lively “Paris” Symphony sparkles with youthful charm, while Mendelssohn’s sunny “Italian” Symphony dances with the warmth and spirit of the Mediterranean. Adding our signature modern twist, Moppa Elliott’s Symphony in C brings fresh energy and imagination to the evening. From Paris to Italy and beyond, this program captures the vibrant energy and colorful moods of the season in full bloom.
Admission: $30 General, $25 Students/Seniors

Anne Lovering Rounds
A Long Journey Called Home
Sunday, April 26 — 4:00pm
"A Long Journey Called Home" is a solo recital program and therapeutic coming of age story, presented by pianist and parishioner Anne Lovering Rounds. The recital first revisits the past, presenting canonical work from formative years at the piano. The second half of the recital offers pieces that became newly emotionally and technically available in adulthood, ending with Missy Mazzoli's stunningly cathartic 2022 work, "Forgiveness Machine." Through performance, personal essays as program notes, medical records, and images, the program tells the story of growing up musically and invites the listening community to be part of a journey still unfolding.
Admission is free. Doors open at 3:30pm.
