Transfigured Nights

And just like that, our Transfigured Nights 2025-2026 season comes to an end! Join us this Sunday, June 14, for our final evensong commemorating the English mystic and writer Evelyn Underhill (1875-1941).

The music will feature music of the 21st century by Grace-Evangeline Mason, Howard Helvey, Joel Martinson, and Sarah MacDonald. Hymns by David Hurd and Richard Proulx from the late 20th century will round out the service.

Joel Martinson will direct the choir and Artist-in-residence Jonathan Gregoire will play the organ. The Rev. Maddie Hill will officiate and the Rev. Casey Shobe will be the homilist.

A reception will follow in the Gathering Space celebrating the conclusion to this successful season of music. The event is free of charge and open to the public - Childcare is provided.

This Sunday, May 3, the Transfiguration Choir, soloists, and orchestra will present Joseph Haydn’s Missa Cellensis in C in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

This rarely performed “cantata mass” composed in 1766, is a tour de force for strings, winds, chorus, and vocal soloists. The 50-voice Transfiguration Choir will be joined by a 24-piece orchestra under concertmaster Kristin Van Cleve, and soloists Elizabeth McGee, soprano, Erin Roth Thomas, alto, Eric Lewis, tenor, and Connor Lidell, bass.

The musicians will perform from the altar platform and floor in the front of the church, so the audience will have a great view, as well as the unique opportunity to hear the full resources of choir and orchestra in our new acoustical environment.

Transfigured Nights presents this performance in thanks to you, our patrons, and to all of our supporters since we began in the Fall of 2004.

This Festival Concert is FREE of admission and open to all.
