St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church in White Sulphur Springs announces a free concert series. The concerts will be held on the first Sunday of each month at 3 p.m. at St. Charles Church which is located across from the Greenbrier Clinic.
A concert of Early Sacred Music will be on Sunday, July 2, with renowned Gregorian Chant cantor Hunter Hensley from Blacksburg Virginia. Hunter Hensley is a retired Professor of Music from Eastern Kentucky University where he taught Vocal and Choral Studies. His professional involvement in medieval music performance practice has resulted in invitations to perform at many national and international music conferences as a medieval chant and early French chanson specialist. In October 2022, Hunter led the St. Basil’s Schola, based in Houston, TX, on a Gregorian chant Pilgrimage to Rome and Paris. This concert will also include music performed by Leah and Rodger Trent on historical instruments including the clavicytherium, harp, organetto and vielle a roue.
Future concerts in this series will be on Sunday, August 6 with Bob and Mary Thompson and the choir from St. Catherine of Siena Church. Tim Holbrook, vocalist from Lewisburg, will be performing at the September 3rd concert.
All concerts are free and open to the public. St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church is located at 40798 Midland Trail East, in White Sulphur Springs, WV. For more information, call the church office at 304-536-1813.
