Some of the Classical selections from the concert are:

“The church needed roof work and the mortgage was coming due.
How the priest wondered, could he raise enough money to cover
these expenses?” The previous year, Father John Powers had
helped reduce the mortgage on St. Ann’s Parish in Cleveland
Heights by holding a benefit concert at the Hippodrome Theater
in downtown Cleveland…Now he had to come up with another
exciting…event.”
from The Cleveland Orchestra Story “Second to None” by Donald Rosenberg
If you continue to read chapter three of The Cleveland Orchestra Story: “Second To None” by Donald Rosenberg, you will learn that Father Powers and Saint Ann Church played an important role became major players in the birth of the Cleveland Orchestra. With his involvement and support, Cleveland’s Symphony Orchestra gave its debut performance on December 11, 1918 as a benefit for Saint Ann Church at Gray's Armory.
So, in the tradition of our founding pastor, The Powers Concert Series has been born. The first concert was December 12th, Angels In the Heights: A Celebration of Christmas. This second concert will take place Saturday evening, May 8th, 2010. Both concerts will feature an evening of glorious music under the direction of Maestro Domenico Boyagian. It will feature a violin solo by Grammy nominated Caroline Goulding. These are difficult economic for all . Our benefit prices reflect this reality and are actually a wonderful benefit as well. Ticket price includes a festive Spring pre-concert party with hors d’oeurvres and refreshments and a raffle at intermission, all prepared to make this a perfect spring evening. Please order your tickets today and help keep Communion of Saints Parish vibrant..
