Celebration of Music Ministry Luncheon and Q & A

In 2020, Richard Webster composed the St. John’s, Tallahassee Service. This piece of music was specifically created for St. John’s Episcopal Church and is a setting of the two canticles for Evening Prayer in the Anglican tradition (the Magnificat and the Nunc Dimittis). On Sunday evening (Feb. 16), we’ll get the chance to hear the Tallahassee premiere of this music.

However, if you are curious about how the St. John’s, Tallahassee Service was created and where Richard found his inspiration, we invite you to ask him all about it at the Celebration of Music Ministry Luncheon and Q & A. This event is not to be missed!

Tickets are $15/person or $100/table (seats 9). Join us in Alfriend Hall for a delicious lunch and lively discussion. REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED.
