Begin forwarded message:
Dear Lee,
We’re hosting a concert you and your network of folks may be
interested in. Jim Scott will be here Saturday (see announcement
below). He is a fabulous singer/songwriter/guitarist who used to
perform and compose with the Paul Winter Consort. I know him and have
heard him many times, and it will be a treat!
Cheers,
Catherine Massey
Please join us in an Earth and Spirit Songfest with Jim Scott on
Saturday July 12 at 7:00 pm at the Unitarian Universalist Church, 2000
S. Solano. Tickets will be $10 at the door. Come lend your voice to
an extemporaneous vocal celebration of earth and peace. Renew your
spirit and celebrate ideals in song. Drawing on his own music and
other songs of ecology, diversity, community and peace from classical
to jazz to world folk music, Jim turns the audience into a choir,
taught by ear and with an invitation to all to join in. The joyful
music of all sorts will inspire and educate. It’s a great
demonstration of music that can be used in spiritual gatherings and in
the greater movement for social change. Come listen or participate. No
experience necessary!
Composer, guitarist and singer Jim Scott was formerly a member of the
Paul Winter Consort and was co-composer of the Missa Gaia/Earth
Mass. He’s toured the world, recorded a number of CDs of original
music and many of his songs are published as choral arrangements.
His newest creation is “The Earth and Spirit Songbook” sponsored by a
grant from the Fund for Unitarian Universalism. Jim often leads
concert presentations of this collection of over 100 songs of earth
and peace by many contemporary composers.
