John Rutter’s “Requiem” 

The 2018 Calvary Masterworks Chorus invites you to enjoy an evening of classical & hymn music as they present John Rutter’s “Requiem.”

Our Masterworks Concert will open with a series of beloved hymns by Charles Wesley, John Newton, and Isaac Watts that have been rethought by British Composer and jazz pianist, Christopher Norton. These beautiful, creative, and moving arrangements accompanied by a pipe organ give a new sense of beauty to the 18th-century texts. John Rutter’s “Requiem” was completed in 1985 and is a choral masterpiece. His setting of this work is beautiful, with melodies that illustrate the depth of the text. The text is a mixture of Latin and English and includes a movement that features his famous setting of Psalm 23. 

  • Please join us on Friday, November 9, 2018, at 7:30 p.m. at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, 416 S.E. Grand Ave., Lee’s Summit, MO 64063 to hear this wonderful Masterwork.  
  • Tickets – $10.00 Adults, $7.00 for Seniors (65+) and Students, Children 4 and under are free.  Tickets may be purchased online with the form below or at the Calvary University switchboard.

Weekly Portraits of Calvary Life

Sarah Bourdess, graduate student, played Sonata Op. 109 in E Major.

Last Friday Calvary dedicated the grand piano and piano microphone which will be used for chapel services, concerts, and recitals in Liberty Chapel.  Through this Dedication Concert we acknowledged the generosity of Mrs. Inci Bashar, Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Winkley, Mr. and Mrs. Bill Kelly, and Mr. and Mrs. Michael Silvers.  We are extremely grateful for their gifting of this instrument, and we look forward to using it for God’s glory for years to come.  Praise the Lord for His provision!

Program

The concert consisted of performances by Un Chong Christopher, Sarah Bourdess, and Dr. Mark Strozier.  Mrs. Christopher, an Associate Professor of Music here at Calvary, played two solo piano pieces as well as accompanying Dr. Strozier and playing a duet with Sarah Bourdess.  Dr. Mark Strozier played three flute pieces.  Sarah Bourdess is one of our graduate students, and she played a solo and a duet on this special gift.
