Joyful Noise Café with Arcadian Winds

Friday, April 25

The Eliot Music Commission, in partnership with the Boston Woodwind Society (www.bwsweb.org), hosted the acclaimed Woodwind Quintet, Arcadian Winds (www.arcadianwinds.org), on Friday, April 25th.  This ensemble, comprised of flute, oboe, clarinet, horn, and bassoon, is a favorite in the Boston area, performing frequently in the area.  It was a great concert for the whole family!!!

Meet the King of Instruments

Sunday, April 13

 Our Minister of Music, Maury A Castro guided all Eliot family members, both young and old alike, through our glorious Bozeman organ.  All were encouraged to strike some keys, push some pedals, pull some knobs and get a close-up view of the pipes.  What fun!  Maury offers this unique opportunity several times each year.  Check out our calendar for future tours.

 

Mini Concert

Sunday, March 9  

Following worship, Eric Rasmussen, a doctoral student in organ performance at the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana, gave a mini-concert in our Sanctuary.  He played lots of Bach, some Lubeck, and a little Bolt on the program. Erik is a very gifted musician. 

 

 

Mini Concert

Sunday, February 10  

Eun-Young Kim, a gifted pianist, graced us with her music.  She began the day by playing the Prelude, Offertory, and Postlude for our worship service, and followed it up with a Mini Concert with the music of Ravel and Debussy.  It was truly a lavish experience.

Celebrating What West Indians Call "Jove"

Friday, January 8

We said goodbye to the winter blues!  Jove begins in January and ends on Ash Wednesday.  We had reggae, drumming, soca, ginger beer and a truly unique event at Eliot.

 

What Is a Mini Concert?

A Mini Concert is an opportunity to enjoy a small dose of excellent live music and musicians in a very convenient location – right here at Eliot Church.  They are30-minute concerts from 11:30 a.m. to noon in the Sanctuary.  Here's how it works:  Come to church.  After church, get a bagel, coffee, and chat.  Leave your kids with our free child-care.  Then come into the sanctuary at 11:30 and enjoy some fine music for as long as you might watch Frasier or Jeopardy.  Feel refreshed!
