An afternoon of great music with something for everyone. More than 40 musicians will come together for this free musical event, and 100% of all donations will go to help provide safe housing and compassionate support for homeless people in our community.
The concert of talented musicians features the well-known Kevin Jordan Wild Coast Brass Quintet, and organist Barbara Vella, performing great classical music by Mussorgsky, Monteverdi, Strauss, and contemporary composers.The diverse program ranges from an upbeat arrangement of “La Bamba” with organ and jazz percussion, to high energy gospel choral arrangements from local composer Peter Williams. The amazing grand finale will be the stirring “Gloria” by Popular British composer John Rutter, accompanied by organ, brass ensemble, choir, handbells, and percussion. This work, comissioned by an American choir and first performed in 1974, has become a beloved choral favorite.
By bringing musicians and community together to help end the cycle of homelessness and domestic violence, the participants and organizers of this concert seek to serve a very real, very immediate need. Shelter Outreach Plus offers emergency shelter, transitional housing and other supportive services for men, women and children.Help support Shelter Outreach Plus with your tax-deductible gifts, all of which will be put to work in our community.
