November 19 First United Church celebrates the Sacred Music of Duke Ellington!
November 18, 2010Join Dee Daniels and Marcus Mosely with the Fred Stride Orchestra as they bring to life the Sacred Music of Duke Ellington. Rick Cluff, from CBC will again be our emcee for the evening, last year he was at a loss for words and many described the event as “spectacular”. Proceeds will benefit the work of First United Church supporting those most in need in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside for 125 years providing shelter and services for more than 600 people daily.
The notes crafted on paper years ago, the voice in the past that sang those notes into our hearts, the instruments and artists in the room on the night, your presence there in the moment are all woven into the fabric of that sacred space. The music becomes us. We become the music. The shadows and the light in each of our personal lives are the diversity and discord that, as is the character of Jazz, become a blended experience of sacred music. As the music moves us and lifts us, it wings us to places of Hope and Light; it calls us to listen and receive – and it compels us to participate and co-create. Once entered and experienced, the Sacred Space leaves us forever changed, at the same time both more vulnerable and more whole.
We enter the Sacred space separately and independently with our individual struggles and joys. In that space we become one collective symphony for Hope and Healing. When we leave we go in separate ways but always remain part of the music that connected us, part of the Hope that continues to sing in our hearts.
