Weekly News from the MDI Episcopal Partnership! "The Artist and his Family" Carlo Francesco Nuvolone, 1609- c.1662 Jacobean Consort Music Saturday January 25th at 4pm! Evening Music, the series of FREE chamber-music concerts presented by the Friends of Music at St. Saviour's, continues on Saturday 25 January at 4:00 pm. The ensemble Harmonie Universelle will perform Jacobean Consort Music: chamber music from the time of the Stuart kings of England (1604-1714) for harp, organ, and strings. Harpist Phoebe Durand will play on a reproduction of a 17th-century Italian triple harp, a harp with three rows of strings that was designed to play the chromatic music of the Baroque era, 150 years before the invention of the modern pedal-harp. She will join organist Daniel Pyle, who will play on a small portable organ designed for chamber-music of the 15th - through the 18th centuries. Also performing will be violinists Heidi Powell and Sylvia Schwartz and cellist Raffael Scheck. The program is centered on works by Henry Purcell, William Lawes, and Giovanni Coperario. The last composer, in spite of his name, was an Englishman who was born John Cooper, but changed his name because he thought that Italian musicians were favored over their English contemporaries. Harmonie Universelle has been performing music of the 17th and 18th centuries using historically-appropriate instruments and playing styles for over four decades. It was founded by American musicians working and studying in Amsterdam in the Netherlands in 1982. They returned to the United States in 1986, and since then have been performing throughout the U.S. and western Europe.   And~~~ the TIME HAS COME!

You will be once you get hooked on Lent Madness! It's Educational! Competitive! Hilarious! The format is straightforward: 32 saints are placed into a tournament-like single elimination bracket. Each pairing remains open for a set period of time and people vote for their favorite saint. 16 saints make it to the Round of the Saintly Sixteen; eight advance to the Round of the Elate Eight; four make it to the Faithful Four; two to the Championship; and the winner is awarded the coveted Golden Halo. The first round consists of basic biographical information about each of the 32 saints. Things get a bit more interesting in the subsequent rounds as we offer quotes and quirks, explore legends, and even move into the area of saintly kitsch. You can sign up on their blog now, and you'll receive your daily reminder of the Saints competing that day, and the button to cast YOUR vote!
