Music & Arts Series

Each year, Westminster offers a variety of concerts. The variety of composers, voices, and instruments will appeal to music lovers of all ages. Held in the sanctuary, the programs are free. All are cordially invited to attend.


RUTHANN MANLEY and JIM BURNS


Sunday, May 20, at 4:00 p.m.

A recital of American songs featuring our own Ruthann Manley, mezzo-soprano, and Jim Burns, piano. You will be inspired by the fusion of poetry and music in Aaron Copland’s settings of poems by Emily Dickinson, Samuel Barber’s Hermit Songs – an engaging cycle set to texts from medieval Ireland – and Three Browning Songs by American’s first prominent woman composer, Amy Beach. This and more will celebrate the richness of song in the United States. A reception will follow.
