CHORAL EVENSONG AND ORGAN RECITAL

June 23, 2019 @ 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm

CHORAL EVENSONG AND ORGAN RECITAL
(Flat Rock, NC) Musical students, alumni and instructor Dewitt Tipton of Furman University will
perform a special choral evensong and organ recital Sunday, June 23rd. It will be held inside the sanctuary
of The Episcopal Church of Saint John in the Wilderness at 4pm.
“The music program of the church is pleased to offer this service to the community in commemoration of
the Nativity of Saint John the Baptist, our patron saint,” says Tipton, also organist and music director of
Saint John in the Wilderness.
Featured choral music will come from across the centuries, including recently composed organ pieces by
Robert Powell of Greenville, South Carolina. Maggie Ramirez, Abbie Schlictmann, Salleigh Harvey,
Will Booker and Shalick Smith are among the performers.
Tipton adds, “The lovely and contemplative service of Choral Evensong is one of the most beautiful
traditions of the Anglican Church. Included in the liturgy are hymns, ancient canticles, scripture readings,
prayers, choral anthems and organ music.”
Admission is free, however donations will be gratefully accepted to benefit the newly constructed Parish
Hall.
