Trinity Episcopal Church

Early Conversation Lecture Series, 7:00 p.m.

the Reformation, has re-emerged over the centuries and is brought to life

inventive and serene sacred music includes music by Dunstaple, Forest,
Plummer and Pyamour, together with works by composers whose names will never
be known.
