An American Requiem, by Edward Tyler

CONCORA, Chris Shepard, director 

This concert features the World Premiere of An American Requiem, written by CONCORA bass section member, Edward Tyler. This emotionally charged work with text drawn from both the traditional Roman Catholic Requiem Mass, as well as poetry by the composer, reflects on the school gun violence epidemic in America. This concert is presented in partnership with CONCORA’s Music with a Mission series.

John and Edie Murphy
Music for Humanity Concerts

Music for Humanity ties together the music and outreach ministries of our church. John and Edie Murphy were members of AHCC’s Legacy Fellowship and left a sizable gift in their estate plans. Pursuant to the interests of the Murphy family, the AHCC Board of Deacons voted to set aside $500,000 of that gift to establish a “Music for Humanity” fund, the income from which is used to offset the cost of presenting concerts. And since presentation costs are covered by this fund, all proceeds from ticket sales and donations are directed to a Hartford area service agency or community program supported by the church.
