Offering for the Earth
04/19/2026 to 04/19/2026
St Louis Church, Stone Chapel, 12500 Clarksville Pike, Clarksville, MD 21029"All of creation is a song of praise to God. If we fall in love with creation deeper and deeper, we will respond to its endangerment with passion." — Saint and Doctor of the Church Hildegard von Bingen. “Offering for the Earth” celebrates and brings to life this timeless wisdom. St. Louis parishioner and performing artist Alexandra Palting blends the sacred medieval songs of St. Hildegard Von Bingen with modern electronic music generated from the biorhythms of plants, creating an environment that fuses past and present, technology and music. In today’s world of information overflow, Hildegard's legacy serves as an enduring example that knowledge and wonder can and should coexist. This concert promises to ignite curiosity about the natural world, inspire trust in the heavenly world to come, and open our hearts toward becoming faithful stewards of Earth that God asks us to be. Alex will be joined by Isaiah Shim, Laura Hill, the St. Louis Treble Choir. Admission: $25 in advance, $30 at the door. For more details visit https://www.stlconcertseries.org/2026-april-19
