Music & Fine Arts Events at Independent Presbyterian Church 2009-2010

November 2009 
The Forty-fifth Season of the Annual
 
 
On November 7, 1965, Joseph Schreiber played the first recital of the November Organ Recital Series. More than 150 artists representing the finest talent from the United States and Europe have performed on the Aeolian-Skinner organ over the past 45 years.
 
 
Sunday, November 1, 2009,   4:00 p.m.
ALL SAINTS’ EVENSONG
 
  The annual All Saints’ Service will be a Service of Choral Evensong sung by the IPC Choir. This service will feature prayers, hymns, and choral music by composers Herbert Howells, Tarik O’Regan, Kenneth Leighton, and Fred Gramann. The necrology of our saints who have died in the past year will be chanted by the choir in the “Litany of the Saints.”
      Independent Presbyterian Church offers the Service of Choral Evensong as an opportunity to experience the Presence of Spirit, in ourselves, in each other, and in all things.  We take this time to rest in the Heart of God, to give thanks for our lives and our blessings. The congregation will be asked to join in silently while the music is offered on your behalf. Within this hallowed space you may forget the ceaseless activity of daily life and be still.
      Dr. Jeff McLelland will play an extended postlude to conclude the service.
