REBIRTH: Singing Death, Singing Life

James & Kathleen Brumm, Sponsors
In Memory of Amanda Husberg, with thanks for the music we share

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Concordia Publishing and Peter Reske for their generous donation of copies of Amanda Husberg’s Requiem.

Though Amanda Husberg is no longer among us, her music lives on in our memories, hymnals, and churches. When Amanda died in 2021, she left a lively legacy of sacred music—from her Brooklyn Mass to her spirited requiem A Feast Prepared, and through congregational songs in between. A life-long Lutheran and Life Member of The Hymn Society, Amanda had over 286 hymns in print in every style imaginable. Her collaborators praised her ability to write tunes that perfectly melded with their texts. She also nurtured congregational song in the Brooklyn church she served for over 55 years.

This session offers an opportunity to sing many of Amanda's works and hear from colleagues and friends about their affection for Amanda and respect for her work. Come sing her music, remember her contributions to congregational song, and celebrate her one-of-a-kind personality that always made everyone smile.
