The Saint Jude Speaker Series, “Sharing the Light” is honored to welcome Maestro Manfred Honeck, Music Director and Conductor of the internationally renowned Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra as its guest Thursday evening, December 2, live at Saint Raphael Church, 7 pm, 1154 Chislett Street 15206.
In his 14th season with the symphony, Maestro Honeck and the orchestra serve as cultural ambassadors of our city as one of the most frequently traveled touring American orchestras. A devout Catholic, Maestro Honeck prays and invites others to join him in prayer before every concert and strives to put faith at the center of his life and profession. Catholicism permeates his life and has an influence on both how he programs and how he conceives of music.
Joining him in a conversation about his spiritualty and the music of his life will be two colleagues and friends, Ann Martindale Williams, principal cellist of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, and Christopher Wu, holder of the Jeffrey Leninger First Violin Chair.
Please plan to join us for what will surely be an inspirational conversation among these brilliant musicians. You can also stream online at https://saintjudepgh.org/streaming
