DID YOU KNOW Mission San Jose was renowned among the California Missions for its Indian choir and orchestra? Learn from Dr. Harmony Murphy about the music that Padre Narciso Durán and the talented musicians at Mission San Jose created in the 1820s. A professional vocalist, Dr. Murphy will demonstrate this music as part of her presentation in the beautiful and acoustically superb Mission Church. She will perform excerpts from the Misa Solemne, also known as the Misa de San Antonio. This comes from the ancient Mission San José choir manual and was likely performed on Easter Sunday as part of the Holy Week celebration. Join us April 9th at 9:30am in the Mission Church at 43300 Mission Blvd. Fremont, CA 94539.
