Mark your calendars – this is a concert you won’t want to miss. On Sunday, December 1, at 2PM, Chant Meets Jazz comes to St. Edwards! Our Clifton Park network of parishes (Corpus Christi, St. Mary’s-Crescent, and St. Edwards) is collaborating to bring this unique presentation to our area using local musicians.
A schola of men from our diocese will chant traditional hymns, then the jazz ensemble will riff on the melody. Wayne Hawkins, one of the original members of the Kansas City jazz ensemble and pioneer in this musical area, is working with local musicians to jazzify these traditional hymns.
Mary Jo Brue, Andrew Sutton, & Richard Putorti were lucky enough to attend the NPM Convention in Kansas City this summer and experience a Chant Meets Jazz concert. It turned out to be one of the musical highlights of the week in a week filled with awesome music. We can't wait to bring this event to our area!
When: Sunday, December 1, 2:00 PM
