Sunday, April 22, 2012 4 p.m. The concert on December 11 will be the traditional service of lessons and carols based on the service at King’s College, Cambridge, that proves a fulfilling introduction to the Christmas season. It will feature the seasonal scripture readings highlighted by carols presented by the choir and hymns sung by the entire congregation reinforcing the themes in the readings. Weather permitting there will be glug and stollen by bonfire outside the church after the concert. The spring concerts will again feature our incredibly talented and generous organist Mike Mulder and local artist Jim Skinger who have presented concerts in the past. Mike Mulder’s program will feature German and French organ classics from composers including J.S. Bach, Johannes Brahms (the wursts) and Gigout, Vierne, Franck, and Francois Couperin (the bonbons) with commentary on the pieces and on the history of organ building. Jim Skinger will be joined by other performers among his professional acquaintances in a concert with the theme winter nights and rainbow days. Our November concert will be something new, parishioner Eric Pooley and his band playing folk, rock and gospel classics from the 60s, 70s and beyond. One more concert may be added to the schedule. Each concert should be unique and fun.
