Concert This Sunday. Angelica, a women’s chamber
choir directed by Marie Caruso, will present “Music without
Borders: Angelica and the Coro Hispanic-Aleman Berlin”
this Sunday, July 19th at 3:00 PM here at St. Vincent
Ferrer Church. The collaborative program will feature
American, German and Sephardic music. Angelica will sing
American folk hymns, revival songs, and modern works. The
Coro Hispanic-Aleman Berlin will sing German works by
Brahms and Mendelssohn. The two choirs will join together
to sing Sephardic music from Spain. Please join us for this
free hour-long event, which is offered in gratitude for all the
support we have received over the years.
Choir. In September our parish choir will begin an exciting
new season. The start of the choir year offers an ideal
opportunity to consider becoming a part of the music
program here at St. Vincent Ferrer Church. The Saint
Vincent Ferrer Chorale is a group of 18 volunteer singers and
4 professional singers. They provide a varied repertoire of
outstanding classical sacred music for the weekly 12:00 Noon
Mass each Sunday (October through early June) and for the
various holy days throughout the liturgical year such as
Christmas and Easter, and for concerts throughout the
season. The choir is an excellent way to enter more fully into
the spiritual and liturgical life of the Church. Our choir
meets for rehearsals each Wednesday or Thursday evening in
the church hall from 6:00 to 7:45 P.M. and on Sunday
mornings at 10:45 A.M. for rehearsal before the 12:00 Noon
Choral Mass. If you would like to know more about our
choir I welcome the opportunity to speak with you following
the weekend Masses, or you may wish to contact me at the
church music office: markbani@gmail.com or at 744-2080,
ext. 16. Mark Bani.
