ST. CECILIA GUILD
In the coming months, the Guild
will continue our outreach ministry by presenting exceptional musical events
that are unique to this area. Last year’s season was cut short by the pandemic
and sadly several events had to be canceled, including Holy Week liturgical
services and our Anglican Musicians in Residence weekend. Fortunately, we were
able to reschedule and live stream our silent film with organist Jackson
Borges, which drew rave reviews! After so many months apart, we look forward to
being together again for the 2021–22 season.
For the past six years the Guild has provided a broad spectrum of music programming, including classical, gospel, jazz, and contemporary. This season our programing will highlight the wonders of the organ, the stylistic interpretations of a Baroque ensemble, a children’s chorus, and a world-renowned jazz pianist/ composer and her trio. We will also present our own traditional Anglican choral programs and services, including the annual Musicians in Residence weekend.
St. Cecilia Music Guild is dedicated to offering programs that are inclusive, supportive, and educational. We believe that our music should be accessible to all members of our community, so there is no charge to attend. Contributions from you—our donors, friends, and visitors—make the gift of music possible for our community and we are deeply grateful for your generosity. In this spirit, we hope you will consider making a financial gift to the Guild. A contribution envelope is enclosed in this brochure for your convenience. You may also donate online at www. stpeterslewes.org.
The Guild thanks you for your continued support and we look forward to seeing you at this season’s events!
