Music at St. Alban's

Concert series at St. Alban's Episcopal Church in Davidson, NC. Our Sunday afternoon concerts, held in the warm and inviting environment of Davidson's St.

Alban's Church, provide our audience members the opportunity to enjoy a wide array of high level chamber music concerts. Our concerts feature musicians from near and far, in classical, jazz, and other genres. We invite you to help support emerging artists by arriving early to hear pre-concert performances by young, talented musicians. We also encourage you to stay after the concerts for our "meet

the artist" receptions, during which you can engage with the performers. Continued support from donors like you makes it possible for this extraordinary musical program to offer diverse, world-class performances to our communities. We look forward to creating memorable music-filled afternoons with you and your families. See you at the concerts!

Percussionist Joey Schnopel visited the children at La Escuelita preschool Thursday morning, as part of their summer camp week long introduction to musical instruments. Joey demonstrated the different components of the drum set and discussed the many varieties of sounds that can be produced by these instruments. He also showed them that you don't even need an instrument to be a percussionist- hands clapping, thigh slapping and foot stomping can be your own percussion instrument.

The program was interactive, as Joey invited students to try playing various rhythms on his drum set, letting them choose which instrument they wanted to hit.

This program was very engaging for the students who ended up dancing to Joey rocking out on his drums!

The vibrant sounds of jazz filled the Ada Jenkins gymnasium on April 25, 2025. M@SA hosted the well-known jazz musician Lovell Bradford for the school’s enrichment program. Mr. Bradford, who is an adjunct professor of piano at Davidson College and his six accomplished jazz students entertained over sixty LEARN Works K-5th grade students. The young jazz students demonstrated the unique sounds of each of their instruments, including a double bass, alto saxophone, guitar, trumpet, flute, keyboard and drums. As the students performed well known jazz compositions, Mr. Bradford talked to the young LEARN Works students about the history of jazz, the various types of jazz and the jazz icons.
