The School of Theology and Ministry hosted an event last week that was both ecumenical and musical: the second annual Boston Theological Institute Choirfest, a gathering of Boston-area divinity schools, seminaries and schools of theology and ministry featuring the music of different religious traditions.
STM’s own choir, under the direction of Lynn Burns, was among those performing at the Feb. 4 concert, held in St. Ignatius Church. The school’s choir, along with that of Saint John’s Seminary, offered a rendition of Anton Bruckner’s “Ave Maria” (above).
Other participants at Choirfest were Andover Newton Theological School, Boston University School of Theology, Episcopal Divinity School, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, Harvard Divinity School, Hebrew College, Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of The- ology, and the Noor Ensemble, led by Abdoul Adam.
