Westminster Presbyterian Church, 1420 West Moss Avenue, is celebrating Valentine’s Day a day early … on Friday, February 13 at 7:30 p.m. with a Cabaret Concert featuring the Westminster Choir, our choral scholars, and a number of members and friends singing love songs from the Great American Song Book. Featured are the great love songs of Broadway and Hollywood, as well as standard songs that have been beloved by Americans since the 1940’s. The program is presented by the Gretchen Iben Series of Westminster Church. A number of well known singers in the area join with Joshua Hearn at the piano to enrich the event. We’re even hosting a jazz combo to give the program even more sparkle!
And speaking of rich … we will be sitting around tables in the Fellowship Hall of the Parish House, directly across from the church. This is the space where the Moss-Bradley Association holds their meetings. Tables will be decorated in red and white, and you will be greeted with coffee and other beverages (both full strength and decaf) on the tables for your enjoyment. At the intermission, gourmet desserts will be served. After a time of enjoying the goodies around the tables, the program will continue … and the servers will keep the dessert plates full throughout the second half of the event so you can enjoy food and music together in a festive atmosphere.
This event is free of charge … but with a couple of caveats! So we can plan on needed food supplies, you need to make a reservation, or pick up a ticket at the church office, or after church on Sunday mornings between now and the date of the event. We do have a limited seating because of the size of the room, so please call the church office to reserve your seat as soon as possible. You can reach the church office at 676.8841. At the performance there will be baskets on the table, and if you so choose, we suggest a $5 donation, simply to help cover the costs of the food. We hope this modest charge will help lots of folks take an evening out at join us at Westminster for a wonderful evening of music in the mid-winter!
