JOHN’S EPISCOPAL CHURCH AND CONGREGATION BETH ISRAEL And guest singers from BETH EL TEMPLE choir with FESTIVAL CHAMBER ORCHESTRA directed by Pamela Siskin Peter Stoltzfus Berton Natasha Ulyanovsky A Celebration of PSALMS is made possible by the generous support of Arnold and Sandy Chase at Congregation Beth Israel Sacred Music at the Red Door, the Music Series of St. John’s Episcopal Church and a grant from The Richard P. Garmany Fund at the page 1 page 2 WELCOME Hinei ma tov u’ma-nayim Shevet ach-im gam ya-chad – Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! Psalm 133 What a blessing to bring the ancient words of the Psalmist to life. As St. John’s Parish and Congregation Beth Israel join together in song our collective spirits will be lifted. The 150 Psalms are the record of an ancient people’s thoughts, feelings, and hopes that reveal our timeless and universal human condition. As our two communties perform (with guests from Temple Beth El as well), may we be inspired by the words, lifted by the music, and carried by the bonds that link us together. In most of the Bible, God reaches out to humanity. The initiative is God’s. In the Book of Psalms, it is the other way around. Human beings reach out to connect with God.

  • Music in Spring
    Music in Spring The Choir School of Newport County Spring Concert Saturday May 13, 2017 at 2:00 pm Emmanuel Church, Newport, Rhode Island WELCOME! Please silence any beeping or ringing thing you might have with you! The Choir School of Newport County is an innovative partnership of Emmanuel Church, Trinity Church and the Zabriskie Memorial Church of Saint John the Evangelist, Newport, for all of Newport County...and beyond. Our mission is to form lives of character and service through the joy and discipline of choral music. This is fostered by a unified curriculum and the faculty resources of several participating institutions. The ensembles of The Choir School give boys and girls a special opportunity for developing the values of self-esteem, a positive attitude, respect, team spirit, discipline, and service to others. Making music at the highest level, ultimately alongside adult singers, with professional, adult expectations, is the vehicle for developing these gifts. We teach more than just music skills; our training can be an essential part of the whole formation of a child. Singers in intergenerational choirs gain experience and confidence to meet many of the challenges of their future lives.

Berton, Director/Organist Cody Mead, Assisting Organist Ealaín McMullin, violin Peter Niedmann, piano Eternal source of light divine George Frideric Handel (1685-1759) Eternal source of light divine, with double warmth thy beams display, and with distinguished glory shine, to add a lustre to this day.
