Newcomers Gathering

If you’re new, or feeling new, or want to meet new people at Christ Church Detroit, please attend a Newcomers’ Gathering on Friday, February 28th from 5:00-7:00 p.m. at a neighborhood restaurant (contact the office for the location!). It’s an opportunity to join Rev. Emily and members of our Welcome Committee to enjoy refreshments and learn more about one another and our life together at Christ Church.

Guest Preacher: the Reverend Matthew Lukens

We’re excited to welcome the Rev. Matthew Lukens, chaplain at Canterbury House, Ann Arbor, the Episcopal campus ministry at the University of Michigan , as our guest preacher on March 2nd. Matthew will preach at both services, visit with our midddle/high school students & families, and greet Michigan alumni!
Serafina: By an Unknown Hand
Saturday, March 29th, 7 p.m.
Serafina is a four-voice early music ensemble that lifts up music written by, for, and about women through performance, education, and advocacy. We’re thrilled that they will perform their newest project, In an Unknown Hand, here at Christ Church. Focussing on music from two newly-rediscovered anonymous convent manuscripts, the members of Serafina have painstakingly transposed, edited, and interpreted pieces that have likely not been heard for centuries. With early music from Europe and Canada, the program sheds light on the work of uncredited convent composers and singers around the world. Join Serafina as they recreate how this music may have sounded three hundred years ago, and history comes to life! Tickets and more information are available at serafinamusic.com

Sunday, April 6th, 7 p.m.
Hear Grammy-nominated British vocal ensemble VOCES8 perform in one of Detroit’s most beautiful settings, Christ Church Detroit!
“The singing of VOCES8 is impeccable in its quality of tone and balance. They bring a new dimension to the word ‘ensemble’ with meticulous timing and tuning.”
— Gramophone Magazine
Touring globally, VOCES8 performs an extensive repertory both in its a cappella concerts and in collaborations with leading musicians, orchestras, conductors and soloists. Versatility and a celebration of diverse musical expression are central to the ensemble’s performance and education ethos which is shared both online and in person.
“VOCES8’s gorgeous sound, impeccable ensemble and intense responsiveness to text, harmony and melodic shape is all of the highest quality. Hearing them sing is a joy.”
