This past Tuesday, October 1, we gathered at St. John for our first Evening for Women program of the 2024-2025 season. Guest speaker William Endicott, our new Collaborative Director of Music , spoke about the significant contributions of women in sacred music. From sorting out the myths and facts surrounding St. Cecilia, the official patron saint of music, to a discussion of St. Hildegard of Bingen (c. 1098-1179), composer and Doctor of the Church, to more modern women composers of sacred music, including Florence Price and Theophane Hytrek, SSSF, it was an enlightening evening for all!
A lively – and delicious – potluck supper followed in Powers Hall.
Please mark your calendars for our next gathering on Tuesday, November 12 – details to come!
