St. John's wishes to thank all who helped make this concert possible. We had an amazing team of dedicated parishioners who volunteered their time to help set up our spaces, feed the choir, handle parking lots and entryways, pass out programs, and be all-around friendly faces you all have come to know and love here at St. John's. We are grateful to all the individual donors and presenting partners who helped us raise the money needed to bring a group of this caliber here to SJC.
This was recorded live at St. John's Episcopal Church on Sunday, April 7, 2024.
