All Saints Evensong: Requiem

A solemn and hope-filled celebration of All Saints Day through the ancient service of choral evensong. This year's musical centerpiece is Maurice Duruflé's luminous Requiem. Written in the shadow of war and rooted in Gregorian chant, Duruflé's masterpiece offers not fear of death, but a profound vision of peace, rest, and eternal hope. Baritone Mark Billy, cellist Kiegan Ryan, and the St. Paul Festival Choir help lead this magnificent performance.

As part of this year's program, we will lift up the stories of people who have died while experiencing homelessness. Too often these lives pass unnoticed and unmourned. In the communion of saints, we remember that every person bears the image of life and deserves to be named, honored, and grieved.

Through music, movement, light, and remembrance, this service invites us to witness honestly, hope boldly, and recommit ourselves to the work of mercy and justice. All are welcome to join in this evening of beauty, reflection, and sacred remembrance as we entrust the departed to everlasting love.  This event is free and open to the public.  A suggested goodwill donation of $20 is appreciated.  Reception to follow the performance.
