Rosary Concert at St. Mary’s Norwalk

Posted by Stuart Chessman 


St. Mary’s Church and the St. Cecilia Society are delighted to announce the second installment of the Rosary Concert Series, dedicated to the Sorrowful Mysteries, on Sunday, March 18, 2018 at
3:00 p.m. at St. Mary’s Church, 669 West Avenue in Norwalk, Connecticut.

This concert, a meditation on the Sorrowful Mysteries, falls on Passion Sunday, which begins the final phase of Lent, leading into Holy Week.

The performers for this concert are Elizabeth Baber Weaver (soprano) and Charles Weaver (lute), who are both members of the St. Mary’s Schola Cantorum.

The Weavers will present devotional arias and cantatas from 16th- and 17th-century Italy, including works by Benedetto Ferrari, Francesca Caccini, and Claudio Monteverdi. These pieces, rather than being liturgical works for the Church, are more personal expressions of faith, meant to increase the intensity of prayer.
The concert will be performed in St. Mary’s Church at 3:00 p.m. Admission is free of charge, though donations will be gratefully accepted. All proceeds will benefit the sacred music program at St. Mary’s and make more concerts possible in the future. A light reception in the church hall (school building) will follow the concert.
