Our initial fundraising effort, which focused on the major restoration of our building exterior, was the Cornerstone Concert Series. The Series has featured the performances of nationally and internationally known musicians throughout its run. Music has ranged from Gershwin to Antonio Vivaldi, and over the years has included piano, organ, string, brass, and vocalists. The concerts were sponsored in part by a grant from the Massachusetts and Brockton Cultural Councils.
Happy August to all! In recapping the season, our Spring/Summer series of concerts were extremely successful. Thanks to the artists who shared their talents, and a special thank you to Jean-Ellen Ouellette-Kenney and Vicki Johnson for the elegant receptions that followed/preceded each event.
While summer is a time to reflect and relax, it is also a time to prepare for the next year. In addition to our Cornerstone Concert Series which will host international artists David Briggs, Your Favorite Brass Quintet, and soprano Jill Noddin. We will inaugurate the Annual Mehaffey Memorial Recital Series on September 22, 2024. We are thrilled that Peter Sykes, a former student of Hope’s, will be our guest artist for this first concert. It is our goal to have an annual organ recital in honor and memory of Hope Mehaffey, who served this parish for over fifty years.
Our choir will resume in September, and we look forward to their participation and enhancement of our liturgies.
Exciting things are happening musically at First Lutheran. Come and bring a friend!!
