The goal of this first annual series for 2001 is to explore crossroads between aesthetic experience and divine manifestation. Working together, five Episcopal parishes in Washington, D.C., have developed this four-program festival to probe the variety of ways God is present in the world. The individual programs explore music, visual art, theater and literature.
All persons are welcome and are encouraged to attend any and all of the events.
Programs in the Series . . The Bach chorale has in the supremest degree, a religious and mystic effect upon the hearer that cannot be explained or analyzed. We are extremely fortunate that in Washington we have one of the world's leading interpreters of Bach's music, Dr. J. Reilly Lewis, who will discuss this aspect of Bach's work and illustrate this transcendent experience with a performance by the Washington Bach Consort. A reception to meet Dr. Lewis and members of the Bach Consort will follow the performance. St. John's Church, Georgetown 3240 O Street, N.W. 202 338-1796 Parking available.
