The acoustics of Notre Dame d’Auvergne are spectacular! The church seems to almost have a voice of its own able to sing back to any musician lucky enough to make music in this beautiful sanctuary.  A single note sung by a singer or played by an instrument echos, flying around the church for close to four seconds. This quality is ideal for much of the sacred music that was sung when the magnificent centerpiece of the church, the Pieta, was first carved during the renaissance. Indeed the architecture of the church – that reminds one of the magnificent historical churches of Europe – contributes to the amazing affect when the space is filled with music. To hear the church come alive with music, those lucky enough to live close by or who are in the area on May 23rd at 7:00pm, have the opportunity to hear a free concert of Sacred Choral Music. The concert titled Gloria will feature a wide variety of sacred music styles including works from the renaissance through to the most recent work composed last year for the celebration of the parishes 100th anniversary.
