St. Thomas More Catholic Church is proud to announce its 2025 Community Advent Concert, led by distinguished pianist Siying He on Friday, December 19, 2025, at 7:00 PM. This highly anticipated event, hosted at the church's historic sanctuary at 11441 Goodwood Blvd., Baton Rouge, will bring an evening of exceptional live classical music to the community in celebration of the Advent season. The concert matters because it represents a significant cultural offering that enhances the community's artistic landscape while providing meaningful spiritual reflection during the important liturgical season of Advent.
Recognized for her artistry and leadership in classical performance, Siying He serves as the featured guest artist and guiding artistic voice behind the event. Her comprehensive involvement—curating the musical program, selecting and arranging repertoire, recruiting instrumentalists and vocalists, and directing rehearsals—ensures a cohesive and inspiring performance that reflects both her artistic vision and commitment to community engagement. This level of professional artistic direction elevates the concert from a simple community event to a professionally produced cultural experience that benefits both performers and audience members.
The Advent Concert reflects the parish's ongoing commitment to cultural and artistic enrichment within Baton Rouge, serving as a bridge between faith-based programming and broader community cultural development. Founded in 1960, St. Thomas More Catholic Church has grown into a cornerstone of faith and fellowship in the Sherwood Forest neighborhood, home to one of the most diverse communities in the region. The parish sanctuary, with seating for 700 people, provides the perfect setting for an evening of musical reflection, celebration, and unity that transcends religious boundaries and brings people together through shared artistic experience.
The Community Advent Concert is open to the public and promises to invite audiences into the beauty of the Advent season through a varied and carefully curated program under Siying He's direction. Collaborative works with guest artists will highlight the shared spirit of music and community that defines the event, creating opportunities for local musicians to perform alongside an established artist.
