The Santa Paula Concert Series' first goal was to assist in fundraising efforts for our Stained Glass Window Restoration Project.  Now, after 6 annual series of concerts and in the beginning of the seventh season, only one stained glass window remains awaiting restoration, thanks to our audiences. As a direct result of the generosity of concertgoers, performers and our wonderful behind-the-scenes volunteers, the work is almost complete.  Thank you to all who have been a part of getting this long-awaited project off the ground.  Below are the first before-and-after pictures.

                                   

BEFORE
Note how the glass sags under the weight of the lead. The glass is muddy in color and the hand-formed jewels are dull.

AFTER
In this picture, the window is again perfectly plane and vertical, and the glass colors are again vibrant and the jewels glimmer.

The Santa Paula Concert Series was the brainchild of John Robles, a longtime church member and musician who visualized bringing concerts to the Church as a means of community outreach and fundraising.  The initial few concerts were by contemporary musicians and were attended by perhaps 20 people, but over time the word has spread about the concerts being held in a beautiful venue Santa Paula, and the concerts became a Series of classical and world music events which now draw an average audience of 80 to 120 people! Below is the poster for this season's first concert.
