Reflecting on life forever changed by the pandemic:

Our 2020-21 season concludes with “Reflect, Rejoice,” a program of tribute, remembrance, and celebration presented by the St. Louis and St. Francis Music Ministries in collaboration with The Columbia Orchestra. The program opens with one of the most recognized works in the classical music canon, Mozart’s Requiem, in honor of the more than half million Americans who tragically succumbed to the coronavirus. Mozart’s monumental work is the music that we have chosen to honor, remember, and mourn ordinary Americans, among us just last year or even last month, who made an extraordinary impact on those who knew them.

Rejoicing in the exceptional leadership of Msgr. Luca:

The second half of the program celebrates Monsignor Joseph Luca and his exemplary service to God, the church, and people in his 50 years as a priest and pastor. Beloved by St. Louis and St. Francis parishioners and throughout the community for his leadership and dedicated service, Monsignor Luca has also been a tireless champion of the concert series over the years. Audiences will be treated to music specially selected for Monsignor.

Join us for this poignant and inspiring concert that travels on a musical journey from remembrance and reflection to celebration and hope. And, if you are able, contribute something to the retirement gift for Msgr. Luca.
