The Broad Street Choir Presents: American Hymn Requiem 🎷

The choir’s final Sunday will feature American Hymn Requiem by Kelly Hale. The work, by the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music’s former head of opera, is a setting of well-known hymn melodies woven into a mass for oboe, clarinet, two cellos, and organ. Please note that on this day, worship will be held as a single combined service at 10:30 a.m. — there will be no 8:30 a.m. service on Sunday, May 17. This beautiful musical offering marks the choir’s last Sunday before their summer break.
