Two Covenant Public Concerts remain for 2020
The Covenant Public Concerts committee is happy to announce that our two final Covenant Public Concerts for the year have been rescheduled for November, and we hope to see many of you there.
On Sunday, November 15th, violinist Sophie Till will be joined by pianist Ron Stabinsky for a recital at 2:00 P.M. They will present music of Brahms, Paganini and Coleridge Taylor, among others. Then, the very next week, on Sunday, November 22nd, our own Tim Smith will present a Service of Music during the worship hour, 10:30 A.M. He will present some of his favorite organ works by Bach, Widor, Elgar and Barber, in his final organ recital as Covenant’s Director of Music & Organist, as he will be retiring at the end of December.
Due to the Covid 19 pandemic, there will be restrictions in place for attendance – much like those in place for Worship at Covenant. Face masks will be required to be worn at all times; the Olive Street door will be the only access to the building; ushers will seat all those in attendance; and the concerts will last only one hour, without intermission.
Since Tim’s concert is likely to be well attended, and as we are limited to the seating we can offer, you MUST call the church office (570-346-6400) to reserve your seat for the Service of Music on Sunday, November 22nd. Covenant Church members will be given first priority but the seating will open to the public on Monday, November 9th, so please call the office by Sunday, November 8th. This Service of Music will also be live-streamed and recorded, in case you prefer to listen at home.
We hope you will join us – live or virtually – for these two final musical offerings in our concert series.
All concerts begin at 3:00 P.M. in the sanctuary.
All concerts are FREE with a free-will offering to support the series.
Non-Perishable Food Items collected for Safety Net at all concerts.
Everyone is invited to a “meet the artists” reception following each concert.
Concerts are partially supported by grants from The Lackawanna County Council on the Arts.
