Welcome! Bienvenue!

This summer’s recital series will look a little bit different…

Because of repairs needed to our organ, we have postponed our Organ Intermezzi to next summer. In its place, we are happy to announce INTERMEZZI: REIMAGINED.

Audiences will have the chance to hear a variety of small ensembles at The Church of St. Andrew and St. Paul on Thursdays in July and August, at 12:15 p.m. Check out the full list of performers here, and mark each date in your calendar!

Thursday, August 13th:

A recital for three organs?! We will travel from the Chapel to the Chancel to hear each of the three organs in the church’s custody, in exciting works for four hands.

Scottish Country Dancing is back on Tuesdays from 6:45 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., starting September 8th in Kildonan Hall, with beginners dancing until 8:30 p.m. and more advanced dancers continuing until 9:00 p.m. Now is a great time for beginners to join the class because we’ll be focusing on easy dances and reviewing figures and footwork for the first few classes. The cost is now $10 cash at the door or $5 for those who join the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society, and we’re now dancing to live piano music. No partner or special dress required. Please wear soft-soled shoes or sneakers. Contact Katie Wood to join at katiemkwood@gmail.com and for details on relocation.
