Greetings!

For centuries music has continued to serve an intrinsic role in worship, mirroring the spoken word and Eucharist to create a prayerful and transcendent experience.

Like the Holy Eucharist, music feeds our souls and draws our faith community into deeper prayer and spirituality. I am delighted to announce our 2019–2020 music season, offering a variety of repertoire spanning Gregorian chant, Anglican Cathedral repertoire, and living composers. Our beautiful gothic space and Austin/Kegg pipe organ greatly enhance the communal experience in Sunday Eucharist, Choral Evensong, special liturgies, and concerts.

In addition, Saint Mark’s space also provides a wonderful setting for performers from our local community, universities,

and around the globe. All are welcome and warmly invited to enjoy the musical offerings this season.

The Saint Cecilia Series is made possible through the generous contributions of members and music supporters in San Antonio. Your contribution allows Saint Mark’s to sustain a broader artistic and spiritual outreach to the community.

Sincerely,

Jon JohnsonOrganist and Choirmaster

Grace and Peace to You!

It is wonderful to be able to share with you our plans for Music from St. Mark’s for the coming year.

The St. Mark’s community has a Core Vocation to Feed San Antonio With the Bread of Life. This undergirds all of our ministry and reminds us that as a faith community we are called beyond ourselves. We do this by being a transformational presence in our city, feeding those who long for something that feeds their souls. Music allows us to experience beauty in a special way. The part of our Core Vocation that longs to feed and be fed by beauty and creativity is particularly manifest in our music program. These offerings invite you to gather and experience the healing power of beauty. Regardless

of our different beliefs and experiences, music unites us through a shared experience. We have been able for many years to provide this free of charge to our community and, thanks to the ongoing generosity of St. Cecilia Guild, this continues. I hope you will join us and invite your friends! We pray it is a blessing to you!

Peace,

The Rev. Elizabeth C. KnowltonRector
