Parallel Brass Concert – July 14 at 3pm

Great Music on the Morristown Green is honored to present the acclaimed Parallel Brass Quintet in concert at 3:00pm, Sunday, July 14th, 2024, at Morristown United Methodist Church.

Parallel Brass is a group of diverse musicians and music educators who possess a wide range of musical skills and expertise, including classical, jazz, Latin, and many other genres.

Founded in 2019, their members perform with renowned groups such as the Metropolitan Opera, Broadway, New Jersey Symphony, Norwalk Symphony, and Radio City Christmas Spectacular.

Parallel’s aim is to deliver inspiring performances and dynamic educational experiences, captivating audiences with a unique repertoire that showcases marginalized and underrepresented composers.  Their July 14th concert will feature music for brass quintet by a wide array of composers, including Claude Debussy, Anthony DiLorenzo, Victor Ewald, Don Gillis, Eric Ewazen, and John Stevens.

Morristown United Methodist Church is Air Conditioned and Handicap Accessible.

Summer Choir Invitation

On most summer Sundays, we’ll gather in the Sanctuary at 10:00am for an informal warmup/rehearsal (come as you are – no robes!) to prepare a simple musical offering for the 10:30am service. This is a great way to test the waters without an ongoing commitment. Sing in the shower? Sing in your car? Give Summer Choir a try!

Please email John Liepold (jliepold@morristownumc.org) for more information.

Summer Services with the PCM!

Next Sunday we will host our friends from the Presbyterian Church for worship here at MUMC.
