Ascension Day Oratori Print

Thursday, June 2, 2011, 7 p.m.baroque_ensemble_color.jpg
The St. Mary’s Cathedral Choir will be joined by guest soloists and a baroque orchestra to perform Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach’s dramatic oratorio Die Auferstehung und Himmelfahrt Jesu (The Resurrection and Ascension of Jesus), a rarely-performed masterpiece written in 1774.  Ascension Day is one of the church’s highest holy feast days, and it is also the anniversary of the founding choir group 2010.jpg of St. Mary’s Cathedral (consecrated as a parish church, May 13, 1858, six months after being organized as a mission chapel by the women of Calvary Church) .  Join the choir and friends as they celebrate St. Mary’s 153rd birthday in style!

Concert is free and open to the public. Donations welcome.

"Church"  or "Cathedral"?
  bell tower

St. Mary’s became the cathedral church of the Episcopal Diocese of West Tennessee in 1983. It was the cathedral to the old statewide Diocese of Tennessee for 102 years before that. So this is a regular parish church — complete with active members and lots of stuff happening — led by our dean, Andy Andrews. But as a cathedral, it’s also the “seat” or home-base of the Bishop of West Tennessee, Don Johnson. This congregation literally handed over its keys to an earlier bishop in 1871 when we pledged to support his ministry to all Episcopal parishes and missions in the diocese.
