Beethoven's Missa Solemnis

🌟 Join us for an unforgettable evening at the Wesley Monumental United Methodist Church in historic downtown Savannah as we celebrate the restoration of our Sanctuary!

Enjoy Ludwig van Beethoven's monumental Missa Solemnis, one of the most profound sacred works for chorus and orchestra. The Sanctuary will be beautifully adorned for Christmas, providing a perfect backdrop for this extraordinary performance.

This special evening also features:

• A moment of gratitude for those who contributed to the Sanctuary’s restoration
• Recognition of our neighbors at Congregation Mickve Israel, as December 12 marks the final day of Hanukkah, celebrating our shared spirit of faith and community.

This date holds special significance for Beethoven, too—it’s not only his birth month but also the anniversary of his first composition lesson with Franz Joseph Haydn.

Don’t miss the rare opportunity to witness one of Beethoven’s masterpieces in person within these historic walls. The Wesley Monumental Chancel Choir and Orchestra will be joined by:

• Rebecca Flaherty, soprano
• Claire Watts, mezzo-soprano
• Caleb Stack, tenor
• Dr. Allen Henderson, baritone
• Dr. Monica Dekle, Director of Music

Beethoven inscribed: “From the heart—may it return to the heart.” Let’s fill this renewed space with beauty, gratitude, and praise to our Maker.
