By Request – A Concert of Choral Masterworks
The countdown is on—just two weeks until our highly anticipated concert! You’re in for a musical feast! We’ve programmed the soaring melodies of Dvořák, the exhilarating Kodály paean to the organ, and the lively energy of Smetana—all brought to life by an exceptional lineup of soloists and a world-class organist. This is a concert not to be missed!
📅 Date & Time: 2:30 PM, 15 June 2025
📍 Venue: Christ Church Saint Lucia, Cnr Central and 9th Avenues, Saint Lucia, 4067
