    • Meditation & CelebrationMeditation & CelebrationTime: 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm
      Strata Vocal Ensemble Our November concert delightfully pairs meditation with celebration. From the hushed and sonorous Byrd “Ave Verum Corpus” that opens the concert, we move to Rheinberger’s lovely Mass in E-flat for double choir, sometimes described as nineteenth-century Palestrina. Other gems on the programme include Gabrieli’s “Jubilate Deo,” Gjeilo’s “The Ground,” Memley’s “Ave Maria,” Lauridson’s “Sure on this Shining Night,” as well as works by Glick, Moustaki, Willan, and Patriquin. Join us for an afternoon of beautiful music to quiet the mind and stir the soul! MacNeill Sanctuary
