Happy Birthday Church Street!

Master Arts Series 2016 / 2017

CeleÁating 200 Years

Church Street United Methodist Church Knoxville, Tennessee

We are excited to announce the 2016–17 Church Street UMC Master Arts Series, a musical celebration of the church’s 200th anniversary. This year, ALL our guest artists have a close connection with Church Street UMC—many are past or present members, singers or staff.

The series will begin with a Service of Choral Evensong involving four of Knoxville’s downtown churches. Evensong will be followed by a festive dessert reception/ birthday party in Parish Hall. The highlight of the series will be the return of

reetings,

Dr. Joe Miller to conduct the Parish Adult Choir, soloists and Knoxville Chamber Orchestra in Maurice Duruflé’s Requiem. Dr. Miller is a Knoxville native and former Church Street singer. He is presently conductor of the world renowned Westminster Choir of Westminster Choir College.

These outstanding musical programs are possible only because of gifts from people just like you. Please consider making a gift to help underwrite this year’s programming. In December, we will host Tennessee’s professional choir, the Tennessee Chamber Chorus. An optional Christmas Buffet Dinner will be served in the

Parish Hall at 6:15 p.m. Two complimentary meals will be provided for contribu tors of $250 or more. See page 15 for more details. Thank you in advance for your contribution.

And lastly, the whimsical 200th anniversary birth-day cake on the front of this brochure was created by artist Kelsey Roy, now in Boston, who sang with the Parish Adult Choir in 2011. A larger souvenir rendition is available on page 3. Have fun finding the different Church Street architectural features contained in this creative gem.
