A Rare Gift of “Messiah”: Ascension Day Choral Evensong | May 14

Thursday, May 14 | 7:00 pm

Join us for a truly special evening of worship and music as the Feast of the Ascension is celebrated with a Choral Evensong at St. Anne’s.

The combined musicians of St. Anne’s, The Annapolis Chorale, and the Bach+ Orchestra will come together for this inspiring service, conducted by J. Ernest Green, with Larry Molinaro on the harpsichord.

✨ Featured Soloists

• Lindsay Espinosa, soprano

• Kathryn Leemhuis, mezzo‑soprano

• Joseph Regan, tenor

• Jim Williams, bass

The evening will feature arias and choruses from Parts 2 and 3 of Handel’s Messiah—sections of this beloved masterpiece that are heard far less often than Part 1. These movements carry profound wisdom, hope, and joy, making this a rare and meaningful opportunity to experience the full emotional depth of Handel’s work within the beauty of Choral Evensong.

💛 This is a wonderful chance to hear inspiring music that lifts the heart and soul. Whether you are a long‑time lover of Messiah or hearing it anew, this evening promises to be memorable.

👉 Plan now to attend—and invite a friend to join you for this remarkable celebration of music, worship, and the Feast of the Ascension.
