With Alice Bemis Taylor’s gift in 1928 of a magnificent pipe organ and endowment to provide concerts in memory of her husband, Frederick Morgan Taylor, a vast richness of musical opportunities became possible.
The Taylor Memorial Concert Series has presented many world-renowned organists, singers, chamber ensembles, and choirs in concerts and services to national and international acclaim. Many premieres of major choral works have taken place in Grace and St. Stephen’s beautiful space.
If you cannot attend in person, all concerts and services will be live-streamed on Facebook.
Under the direction of Deborah Jenkins Teske, Colorado Vocal Arts Ensemble presents Soundscapes.
