Greetings!

I am excited to share with you the 2023-2024 concert series season at St. Stephen Presbyterian Church in Fort Worth. This season looks a little bit different than years past, however, there is much to look forward to!

Below are two lists. The first is the concerts on our series, and the second is concerts that will take place at St. Stephen, but are not on our series. We hope you can join us in supporting these other wonderful organizations that perform at St. Stephen!

We are very excited to announce that a new, professional vocal ensemble has been founded and will give its premiere performance at St. Stephen this fall. This new 8-person ensemble is made up of some of the top professional singers in the country, including GRAMMY award winning and nominated artists. The group is called Ensemble Iona. This is the start of something fresh and new - you won't want to miss!

We could not continue this wonderful series of concerts year after year without your support - whether its your attendance, financial support, or both. If you would like to contribute, you can click the "Donate" button on this email which will take you to a giving page. Select "Special Music" in the dropdown menu and that will make sure your gift gets to the right place. We are grateful for your support!

There is lots of music waiting to be heard - and I can't wait to welcome you to St. Stephen to hear it!
