WVU Choir Concert
Palm Sunday, March 16
Former Associate Music Director Jeffry Johnson brings two of the
choirs from West Virginia University to present a Palm Sunday
afternoon program at 2 pm.
To make life a bit more simple for
ELPC folks, a light luncheon (reservations, please, to Norma at
412-441-3800, ext. 11) will be served
following worship. This is an opportunity to begin your Holy Week
journey
inspired by beautiful choral music presented by two of the University’s
choral ensembles. Jeffry Johnson, who is presently a Ph.D. candidate
at WVU, directs one of the choirs and sings in the second choir,
which he also occasionally conducts. They will be sharing some
of the music from their recent and upcoming concerts: Bernstein’s
Chichester Psalms, Fauré’s Cantique de Jean Racine, Mathias’s
“Let the People Praise Thee,” Rutter’s “For the Beauty of the
Earth,” some Spirituals, a new set of pieces by David Goldstein
based on the Song of Songs, and more.
Do invite your friends to be with
you for this “homecoming” event for Jeffry
and to give space to God’s Spirit to enrich your spirit through
song.
