The Episcopal Church of St. Mary the Virgin
|
The Episcopal Church in the United States is part of the worldwide Anglican Communion of 70 million people in churches that trace their origins to The Church of England. Anglican, or Episcopal, theology and faith draw equally upon Scripture, historical tradition, and human reason. We seek to find, understand, embrace, be nurtured in, and live out the Good News of God in our daily lives.The clergy and people of St. Mary's hope you find spiritual and emotional sustenance in this tradition.

Sunday May 20 - 7:00 PM
 "Brightest and Best" features some of the best, young talent in The Bay Area. The format is structured similarly to National Public Radio's, "From the Top" with a short interview of each musician before or after they perform, giving insights into their passion, dedication, and personal stories. While there will not be "air time," Brightest and Best will offer performances by these remarkable young musicians in a very intimate setting. Performing will be: Peter Pearson - 'cello, Yujin Ariza - violin, Kelsey Lauritano - mezzo-soprano, and Caitlin Gowdy violin. The concert will include works by: Brahms, Paganini, Bartók, Donaudy, Mozart, Copland, de Sarasate, and J.S. Bach. Reception following. |
