St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church to Host ‘A Choral Feast’
The Friends of Music and the Arts at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, 6509 Sydenstricker Road, Burke, will host "A Choral Feast," a concert of choral music, in Burke on Sunday, April 6, at 4 p.m. "There is no admission fee for our concerts, because we want to make great music available to everyone who is interested," said Jay Wilcox, the organist-choirmaster at St. Andrew's. "We hope that those who are able to donate to support the ongoing series will do so." The series is in its third year, and presents a variety of artistic events. There is plenty of free parking at St. Andrew's, and there is free childcare so that parents of young children can attend without having to worry about hiring babysitters. The 90-minute concert will be performed by the Potomac Ensemble, a group of 10 of the D.C. area's finest professional singers. All of the choral music on the program is written for five-part choir (with two soprano parts), rather than usual four part choir. "The added soprano part gives the music a degree of richness that four-part music cannot achieve," notes Wilcox.
