Organ Recital by David Hughes at St. Patrick’s in Waterbury

“Please join us tomorrow, January 2nd, at 5:30 P.M. for our inaugural installment of ORGAN AT THE ORATORY.  On the first Sunday of each month, a guest organist will offer a recital prior to Vespers.  The first recitalist will be David Hughes, Organist & Choirmaster at St. Patrick’s Oratory.  He will play a program of festive Christmas music by the great Johann Sebastian Bach; Bach’s mentor Dietrich Buxtehude, who was for many years the organist in Lübeck; and some colorful versets by the notable French classical composer Nicolas de Grigny.  Vespers will be followed immediately at 6:00 P.M. by sung Vespers & Benediction for the Feast of the Most Holy Name of Jesus.  The recital and Vespers are of course free and open to the public.  Please invite your family and friends; this is a wonderful way to introduce them to the Church’s rich liturgical and musical patrimony, which we are so grateful has a home at St. Patrick’s.”
