St. Bart’s 2025-26 Music Season

Dear St. Bart’s,

Thank you all for your continued support of our music ministry, and for everyone who attended one or more of our concert series offerings this season! From our recent musical Chess to Haydn’s The Creation, my own Precious Stones, An Evening with Danielle Evans, and everything in between, it has been truly a wonderful year of music here. Mother Nina has given me the opportunity this week to share our 2025-26 music season and get everyone excited for all the beautiful music we will be making next year.

We will have four masterwork concerts next year: John Rutter’s Requiem, my ownChristmas Cantata (world premiere), Giovanni Pergolesi’s Stabat Mater (featuring Hannah Arevalo and Danielle Evans), and John Stainer’s The Crucifixion. The Pops series will also have four concerts: A Disney Cabaret Night, The Light in the Piazza (musical, in concert), An Evening with Danielle Evans (album release), and Into the Woods (musical, in concert). We are so blessed to have such amazing musicians here at St. Bart’s and in our local community, so I have full confidence in promising amazing performances for all of these events.

In addition to attending the concerts, you can become a Friend of Music (or resubscribe) at stbartsmusic.org, or just find me on the patio after worship. You’ll recognize our Friends of Music on campus by their beautiful donor pins, and I am forever grateful for their support. For as little as $50, you can join this exciting program and get invitations to private concerts, receptions, and parties during the year. The Benefactor level includes two free tickets to all performances for the season, but there are various subscription levels based on what you feel comfortable donating.

Thank you for the continued opportunity to serve as your music director here, and I’m looking forward to the year of music ahead!

Yours truly,

Dr. John-Luke Addison
