Piano Dedication Concert Celebrates Gift

Weekly Portraits of Calvary Life

Sarah Bourdess, graduate student, played Sonata Op. 109 in E Major.

Last Friday Calvary dedicated the grand piano and piano microphone which will be used for chapel services, concerts, and recitals in Liberty Chapel.  Through this Dedication Concert we acknowledged the generosity of Mrs. Inci Bashar, Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Winkley, Mr. and Mrs. Bill Kelly, and Mr. and Mrs. Michael Silvers.  We are extremely grateful for their gifting of this instrument, and we look forward to using it for God’s glory for years to come.  Praise the Lord for His provision!

Program

The concert consisted of performances by Un Chong Christopher, Sarah Bourdess, and Dr. Mark Strozier.  Mrs. Christopher, an Associate Professor of Music here at Calvary, played two solo piano pieces as well as accompanying Dr. Strozier and playing a duet with Sarah Bourdess.  Dr. Mark Strozier played three flute pieces.  Sarah Bourdess is one of our graduate students, and she played a solo and a duet on this special gift.

Dr. Mark Strozier played Cantabile et Presto accompanied by Un Chong Christopher.

Masterworks Chorus Presents “Elijah”

Masterworks Chorus Presents “Elijah”

Weekly Portraits of Calvary Life

Last Friday evening the Calvary Masterworks Chorus performed Elijah by Felix Mendelssohn.  A large crowd of family and friends filled Blue River Bible Church to enjoy the fruit of many weeks of practice by the vocalists and instrumentalists.  The chorus was comprised of Calvary students, faculty, staff, alumni, and singers from the local, Christian community.  The oratorio featured 47 movements following Elijah’s story in I Kings and incorporating other scriptures as well.  We were pleased to have Joshua Lawlor, David Adams, Un Chong Christopher, and Jacqueline Venable Simmons as soloists for the performance.  Jeremy Schell, our Chorale Director, was the director and conductor of the chorus and orchestra.
