2025-2026 Season:
Fall 2025
Sunday, November 23rd, 2025, 3:00pm
At Historic St Mary’s Episcopal Church, 1307 Holmes, KC MO 64114
The Fall program, The Touch of Infinity features one major work, Rest, an observation and contemplation of the loss we experience as those we love take their final rest. Rest is a work in the spirit of choral settings of the Requiem mass, but written from a different and distinct perspective on our passage to eternity. It is bracketed by an invocation in which we prepare to receive the touch of infinity, and a benediction with which we share that touch with each other and the world.
