The Community Chorus of Redlands and Ensemble XXI, through the sponsorship of The Chaplain’s Office of the University of Redlands, John Walsh, Omer E. Robbins, Chaplain, are presenting their annual combined choral event entitled: “The Healing Power of Music.”
This presentation of choral music, congregational hymns and special readings is intended to bring continued healing to our communities after the tragic events this year not only in our region and country, but throughout the world. We believe that through singing together we may find solace and strength to deal with these events and find renewed energy to continue to reach out in support of each other.
“The Healing Power of Music” is scheduled for Sunday, February 25 at 4:00 p.m. in the University of Redlands Memorial Chapel. Community Chorus of Redlands (70 singers) and Ensemble XXI (30 singers) are the core ensembles under the direction of Jeffrey H. Rickard. We have chosen choral music for each choir to sing individually, several pieces for all of the choral forces to sing together, as well as 2 well-known hymns for choir and audience. The mighty Casavant organ will be in full splendor and will accompany us on several pieces.
A free-will offering will be received in support of this presentation and given directly to the United Way of San Bernardino.
