Thread Name: Public concerts in 'churches' ?
Subject: RE: Public concerts in 'churches' ?
Two musical highlights of mine were singing with a small Pomona College vocal ensemble a Josquin des Prez (pre-Bach) polyphonic mass in Old St. Mary's Cathedral in San Francisco and in a Catholic cathedral in Tijuana, Mexico. These were regular church services with all the mystique and mumble-jumble of the RC Church liturgy (I had strong agnostic leanings even back then, but no harm was done). Cathedrals are fantastic spaces in which to sing.
