Hommage to Luther: October 21, 2017

A great ecumenical musical celebration of the legacy of Martin Luther, uniting Roman Catholics, Lutherans and Presbyterians. In honour of the 500th anniversary of the Reformation, the musicians of Serenata St. John join with members of the Choir of the Church of St. Andrew and St. Paul, in the so-called “Cathedral of the East”, the sumptuous Eglise St-Nom-de-Jésus, located in Hochelaga-Maisonneuve. Guests of honour include Mayor Denis Coderre and Maestro Kent Nagano of the Montreal Symphony Orchestra; guest clergy include Curé Robert Allard and the Rev. Dr. Glenn Chestnutt.

The musical programme includes Magnificat à 6 by Claudio Monteverdi, a cantata by Georg Philipp Telemann, Cantata 80 “Ein feste Burg” by Johann Sebastian Bach, and other works.
