Saint John’s Episcopal Church

Works by Schubert, Gryc, and Brahms
Originally written as a single movement for another piece, “Notturno” is a work of nuanced beauty. This gem of a composition by the sublime lyricist Franz Schubert opens our 2026-27 season. “Dances and Nocturnes” was commissioned by New World in 1989 from Hartt composer Steven Gryc. Each of the seven fanciful movements can be considered “night music”, the dances being “dreams of dances”. The addition of a viola adds richness and depth to the overall texture, creating a “contemporary classic” piano quartet. Brahms’ op.8 trio was first written as a youthful composer of 21 and revised thirty-five years later, shortly before his death. This imposing, expansive work remains a cornerstone of the chamber music repertoire. Its classical structure combined with romantic expressionism certainly fits the weltgeist of Beethoven. “ Autumn Reflections” is being given in memory of William E Fuller.

St Luke's Episcopal Church

St. Luke’s Church (915 Main Street, South Glastonbury) is proud to present double-neck guitarist Ian Ethan Case in concert on Saturday, October 17th at 7:00 pm.Suggested donations are $15 adults and $10 students/seniors along with a non-perishable food donation for the local food bank. Reservations are suggested and can be made by e-mailing <a href="mailto:pattisivocole@gmail.com">pattisivocole@gmail.com</a>
or calling (860) 633-5057.
Acoustic double-neck guitarist and Candyrat recording artist Ian Ethan Case is quickly becoming recognized as “one of the most creative and engaging fingerstyle guitarists in the world" (International Center for Creativity). Case has recorded, performed, and/or shared the stage with some of the most noteworthy artists in instrumental non-classical music including Victor Wooten, Stanley Jordan, Manu Delago, Jharis Yokley, GoGo Penguin, Andy McKee, and Grammy Award winners Eugene Friesen and Paul McCandless as well as members of the Harford Symphony and the Boston Pops.Listeners have described his music as a cross between Michael Hedges, Steve Reich, and Pat Metheny.
Case studied at the Berklee College of Music and was inspired by private lessons with top jazz musicians such as John Pattitucci, Antonio Sanchez, Aaron Goldberg, Mike Manieri, Adam Rogers, and master percussionists Giovanni Hidalgo Jamey Haddad, and Glen Velez. Since then he has crafted and refined his unique voice and his live performance over the course of hundreds of concerts throughout the US, Canada, and most of Europe including two home concerts here in Glastonbury in the Gathering Room.Case’s 2026-2027 concerts mark a return to the solo format, newly expanded with the incorporation of organ pedals, foot percussion, and cutting-edge electronic capabilities all tastefully integrated into his masterful acoustic playing. As one first-time listener in California exclaimed: “Ian’s music is phenomenal - watching him play is not ‘listening to music’; it’s a full-mind experience. Transporting.”

Rocky Hill Congregational Church

Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove at Rocky Hill Congregational Church November 1 (new date): FREE 
Nationally known author and activist Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove will speak Sunday Nov. 1 on the ways religion has been manipulated to support an authoritarian political movement in the U.S. The speech is at Rocky Hill Congregational Church, sponsor of the event.
All are welcome at this free event. No tickets are needed.
Wilson-Hartgrove, a prominent voice in today’s moral movements for justice and democracy, will address how communities can strengthen democracy rather than undermine it. 
Wilson-Hartgrove is co-author of the Substack “<a href="https://ourmoralmoment.substack.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Our Moral Moment</a>” with <a href="https://www.theologyandpolicy.yale.edu/bishop-william-j-barber-ii" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Bishop William Barber</a>, author of 15 books, and is a highly sought-after speaker.
“We’re living through a moment when people are searching for clarity and courage,” said Rev. David Figliuzzi, RHCC’s pastor. “Jonathan’s work helps communities understand what’s happening and how we can respond in ways that build connection rather than deepen division.”
“This talk is for anyone – religious or non-religious – who is concerned that the U.S. is becoming more authoritarian, that democratic norms are eroding, and who want to know what they can do about it,” Figliuzzi said. 
Rocky Hill Congregational Church, which celebrates its 300th
anniversary in 2027, is a progressive United Church of Christ. The event reflects its ongoing commitment to actively working for justice in the community and beyond. 
Event Details Date: Sunday, November 1&nbsp;Time:
4:00 PM Location: Rocky Hill Congregational Church, 805 Old Main St., Rocky Hill Cost: Free and open to the public
