Music at St. Alban's

Concert series at St. Alban's Episcopal Church in Davidson, NC. Our Sunday afternoon concerts, held in the warm and inviting environment of Davidson's St.

Alban's Church, provide our audience members the opportunity to enjoy a wide array of high level chamber music concerts. Our concerts feature musicians from near and far, in classical, jazz, and other genres. We invite you to help support emerging artists by arriving early to hear pre-concert performances by young, talented musicians. We also encourage you to stay after the concerts for our "meet

the artist" receptions, during which you can engage with the performers. Continued support from donors like you makes it possible for this extraordinary musical program to offer diverse, world-class performances to our communities. We look forward to creating memorable music-filled afternoons with you and your families. See you at the concerts!

We had a great turnout and a great concert last Sunday when the Queens Chamber Players performed music by John Harbison and Franz Schubert, the latter piece being the famous Trout Quintet. The audience enjoyed the excellent pre-concert performances by young performers, and gave the Queens Chamber Players a standing ovation at the end. Thanks to all who made this concert possible!

Percussionist Joey Schnopel visited the children at La Escuelita preschool Thursday morning, as part of their summer camp week long introduction to musical instruments. Joey demonstrated the different components of the drum set and discussed the many varieties of sounds that can be produced by these instruments. He also showed them that you don't even need an instrument to be a percussionist- hands clapping, thigh slapping and foot stomping can be your own percussion instrument.

The program was interactive, as Joey invited students to try playing various rhythms on his drum set, letting them choose which instrument they wanted to hit.

This program was very engaging for the students who ended up dancing to Joey rocking out on his drums!
