Conductor’s Message

Dear Friends of Opus 24,

As Mother’s Day approaches, we invite you to join us for a heartwarming musical celebration honoring the beauty, strength and love of motherhood. Our upcoming concert, Abide, will take place on Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 11, 2025, 3:00 pm at Central Christian Church in Decatur.

This special performance will feature a selection of choral works that reflect the nurturing spirit of mothers and the deep, abiding love that shapes our lives. Motherhood takes many forms. It is found in the gentle care of a parent, the unwavering support of a mentor, the kindness and guidance of a friend as well as in the deep bonds of community.

This concert’s programming reflects the themes of celebration, thanksgiving, guidance, devotion, love, faithfulness, reflection, remembrance and ultimately the reassurance that we never walk alone. Whether you are celebrating a mother, remembering one, or embracing the role yourself, this concert promises to be a meaningful and uplifting experience.

We are truly grateful for your continued support, which allows us to bring inspiring music to our community. Your presence at this concert will help make it a special occasion for all. Please mark your calendars and invite your family and friends to share in this memorable afternoon of music and reflection.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Warm regards,

Ted Hesse, Conductor
