Join us for a series of potluck suppers followed by a video series on the history of sacred music. Ellen Grieves and Jean Mackenzie of Clamman have graciously offered to provide delicious soup, chowders, and bisques each week. For those who are able, please bring a side, salad, or bread to share.
This year’s program will be a return of the series interrupted by Covid in 2020, a BBC production of the key evolution of church and sacred music featuring the world-famous classical vocal ensemble, The Sixteen. This BBC groundbreaking classical music programme follows renowned actor and former chorister Simon Russell Beale as he explores the flowering of Western sacred music. This four-part documentary series contains a rich mix of personal, political and musical stories and features some of the greatest music ever written, all performed by Harry Christophers and his award-winning choir, The Sixteen. A feast for the eyes as well as the ears including some of the world’s most beautiful and notable places of worship in Christian history.
