...COLLECTING MY THOUGHTS...

Now, in the waiting time leading up to Christmas, we welcome you to an Advent concert where we invite the audience into a meditative space.

In the year 2024, we need both peace of mind and moments of respite.

Classical music carries something timeless and infinite. It’s as if it gives voice to what cannot be put into words.

Here, you will hear classical works that, in different ways, offer both calm and time for reflection. The pieces will be performed a cappella, and between the pieces, you will hear organist Mariko Takei.

At the entrance to the concert there will also be a performance on the church’s carillon.

Welcome!

- Miserere mei, Deus - by Gregorio Allegri
