Where You Belong

November 8th & 15th

Invite Advent to your home by joining Covenant friends in making ceramic candle holders to use on your table for the Advent season. Join us November 8th and 15th from 11:30 am–12:30 pm. We will use clay to make a candle holder for yourself and help make more as gifts to share with members of our faith community. This is a two week seminar creating small wreath shaped candle holders week one Nov, 8, and glazing them in the following session November 15. The keepsake ceramic wreath provides an invitation to conversations and devotion with family and friends beyond Sunday morning …for home is a little Church.

Bring along an apron for these holiday workshops appropriate for ages 5 (with parent) and beyond.

Every great musical voice emerges through becoming. Elegant refinement gives way to bold originality as this program traces composers finding and redefining their artistic identities. Gabriel Fauré's Masques et bergamasques adroitly revives the grace of the Baroque dance suite, while Howard Hanson's richly textured Concerto for Organ, Harp and Strings reveals a distinctly American lyricism. The evening concludes with Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. 1, where the young composer honors the Classical tradition even as he begins to reshape it forever.

Covenant’s world-renowned organist Jonathan Moyer—recognized for performances spanning Renaissance masterpieces to contemporary works—brings both brilliance and color to Hanson's seldom-heard concerto. The American composer Howard Hanson composed his Concerto for Organ, Harp, and Strings in 1941, based upon an earlier version composed in 1926. The single movement work possesses a dramatic range of tonal and harmonic color. The core of the Work’s melodic material comes from an earlier piece he composed entitled North and West, which was inspired by the rugged landscapes of the American Northwest.
