Thank you to everyone who joined us for the recent BROADcast Concert that kicked off the ReVoice Organ Campaign. It was a beautiful evening filled with outstanding music and joyful company. The concert provided a strong start to the campaign, and we are grateful for the early momentum as we continue the restoration and preservation of our beloved historic pipe organ. Thank you for your generosity and encouragement as we move this important work forward. We are excited to keep the momentum building in the weeks and months ahead.
Our next BROADcast Concert is on March 14 at 7:30 p.m., and it promises to be something unique and special. The BROADcast Concert Series welcomes renowned sitarist Michael Griska, joined by Asish Sinha on tabla, for an evening of Traditional Music of India. This dynamic duo will offer music that is both meditative and powerful, filled with intricate rhythms and shimmering tones that create an immersive sound world. We invite you to come, listen deeply, and experience the richness of this centuries-old musical tradition.
Our music ensembles are hard at work preparing for a beautiful Easter Sunday and the season beyond. The Wesleyan Voices and Clocktower Ringers are digging into challenging and uplifting repertoire, and we look forward to worshipping with you throughout this meaningful season.
We are also excited to share that we recently upgraded the synthesizer keyboard on the sanctuary stage. After many years of faithful service and even surviving a lightning strike, the previous instrument was truly on its last leg. Our new instrument, a Yamaha Montage M8X, is a beautiful addition to our worship life, and many of you have already heard the difference at the first service. The clarity, warmth, and expressive capability of this instrument are remarkable. The majority of the funding for this purchase came from the 2024 Piano Campaign. Because of your generosity, we are able to continue strengthening the musical leadership of our worship services. Thank you for investing in the ministry of music at SUMC.
We are grateful for the ways music continues to support and shape our worship as a congregation.
