Events at Ascension
Choral Evensong for the Sunday after the Ascension.
Ascension Choir leads a service with Ralph Vaughan Williams’ Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis in C Major, with anthems and hymns by Thomas Tallis and Vaughan Williams.
A reception will follow the service.
We are welcoming the return of live music with "Still Waters," a hybrid livestream and in-person salon recital in our parlor at Ascension Parish. Our Minister of Music will play gentle and uplifting music by 19th and 20th century women on our antique Chickering grand piano. The program includes music by Lili Boulanger, Fanny Hensel, Clara Schumann, Teresa Carreño, Mélanie Bonis, Amy Beach, Marion Bauer and Florence Price.
This recital is offered as part of the ministry of the music program of Ascension Episcopal Parish. It is free to view, livestreamed on Facebook.
There are also a limited number of seats available in our parlor for a live audience to attend the recital. If you would like to attend in person, please RSVP to music@ascensionepiscopalparish.org to ascertain availability. In-person attendance is also free of charge.
