The Series provides people in St. Mary’s County and neighboring areas with the opportunity for an informal appreciation of music and the performing arts. The intimacy of the sanctuary allows audiences to feel more a part of the performance. Christmas concerts always feature a carol sing-along and many of the concerts include a dialogue between the performer and audience. Several of the concerts are preceded by workshops for young musicians in the area.
The series also includes the annual concert "Sounds of Tomorrow," held on the second Saturday in June, which features young talent from the area. Designed to showcase talent in a "solo" or "recital" environment, the program auditions high school juniors and seniors who plan to major or minor in music in college, as well as college freshmen who are pursuing studies in music. Each student who performs is presented with an honorarium for their participation.
Following each concert, we invite our audience to attend an informal reception in the Parish Hall, where they may share their love of music one-on-one with the performers.
