A Note from Jim
Fresh off of the wonderful musical gifts shared with us this past Sunday by the students of the Madeira School, I’d like to share a bit about two upcoming world-class concert offerings here at St Margaret’s for our parish and the wider community.
First, on Sunday February 9 at 4pm, we welcome noted organist Michael Britt back to St Margaret’s for our annual silent film organ concert. He is widely known for his silent film accompaniments in addition to serving as music director at Brown Memorial Presbyterian Church in Baltimore. He will put the organ through its paces, improvising accompaniments to the 1923 Buster Keaton classic “Three Ages.” This film holds the distinction as the only film Keaton himself wrote, directed, produced and starred in. This is a free and family friendly event not to be missed!
Second, on Saturday February 22 at 4 p.m., we welcome back musicians from the Annapolis Chamber Music Festival in a winter program featuring vocal, piano and flute music of Bach, Franck and William Bolcom. Founded just a few years ago, the Annapolis Chamber Music Festival brings fresh, exciting and world-class musicians to Annapolis to perform the best of chamber music old and new that is often left unplayed by traditional chamber ensembles. A favorite venue of the festival, St Margaret’s is thrilled to host this preview performance for the upcoming 2020 festival in August. I would recommend this concert offering particularly to music lovers who may otherwise be out of town in August when the festival takes place. Advance tickets may be purchased online at
http://chambermusicannapolis.org/2019tickets/ray-furuta-and-laura-ward-in-recital for $25
, or at the door the day of for $30. A portion of the ticket sales will go towards the St Margaret’s music ministry’s educational and formational efforts.
As we begin the second half of the program year, please know that participation in our choirs and ensembles is open to all. Anyone who loves to sing or play an instrument and wishes to be a part of our musical life is encouraged to share their talents, especially youth, as we journey on in musically leading, inspiring and transforming in the worship and praise of God.
