friends of music Joining the Friends of Music is a great way to support Sacred Music in a Sacred Space. Parish members and non-members alike are invited to contribute to the operating costs of running a series of this scope. Ticket sales and free-will offerings alone cannot finance the series. Contributions from Friends of Music are therefore vital to continuing our tradition of excellence in presenting great sacred works performed by our Choirs as well as by distinguished visiting artists. Please consider making a donation to this annual fund, benefitting both the parish and the wider community.

Contributions are tax-deductible to the full extent provided by law and may be made in memory of family and friends.

Please make checks payable to “Christ & St. Luke’s” and write “Friends of Music” in the memo line or visit christandstlukes.org/give.
