Friends of Music and Arts

Our aim is to create space that deepens and enriches our spirituality through the arts.

From the Rev. Ruth Pattison: 

Music and art can heal us, set us free, plunge us deep into new insights, expand our souls, make us new, and help us fall in love with the God we seek to worship.

2024-2025

Concerts

Matthew Dickerson, Dulcimer

October 6, 4:00 PM

Come and hear the unique Alpine sounds of the hammered dulcimer; played by virtuoso artist Matthew Dickerson, who tours regularly on the instrument. The hammered dulcimer is acquainted with many countries and regions, often heard at Bavarian, Swiss, and Austrian festivals as well as folk events in Hungary, and other Eastern European countries. The “sweet sounds” [dulcimer = sweet sounds (Greco-Roman origin)] will be perfect in the intimate acoustics of Christ Chapel. We hope you’ll join us for this “sweet sounding” opportunity on Sunday, October 6 at 4:00 PM.
