St. David's Presents Hymn Festival

St. David’s Episcopal Church, 301 E. 8th St., is very pleased to announce a community-wide hymn festival on Tuesday, April 23, at 7:30 p.m. in St. David’s Historic Church.
 

The festival, “Let All the World in Every Corner Sing!” will be led by St. David’s organist Austin Haller and will feature the St. David’s Singers and Parish Choirs, the St. David’s Chamber Handbell Ensemble, and trumpeter Timothy Shaffer. The assembled musicians will lead the audience in the dynamic singing of hymnody that spans the entire liturgical year, from well-loved favorites to more obscure musical gems, and from German chorales to American folk tunes, spirituals, plainsong, and more.
 

Freewill donations will be accepted to benefit St. David’s Music Endowment, which provides for the glorification of God through music for future generations. Complimentary parking will be available in the St. David’s garage at 8th and Trinity Streets. For more information, please contact Katie Keenan, Communications Coordinator, at (512) 610-3556; or visit www.stdave.org/concerts.
