What a Day! CELEBRATE

Today started
with a bang....of trees falling, power outages and other powerful things .... Like Dr. Keith Hampton's choir clinic on CELEBRATE, one of his most famous compositions. We got an incredible lesson in music, faith, gospel roots and modern interpretation. For ninety minutes he transfixed and prepared us to go out and proclaim the message in song.





Then Jon Rudy treated us to Bach's "Wedge", one of JSB's most challenging organ pieces - Prelude and Fugue in e minor





And then the talent show ....oh my! From the violin virtuosity of Paul Christian, to Evan's Adolfo, to Kenny's ballet and much more, we realized what an incredibly talented group of young people we have with us. It's going to be a wonderful experience sharing it with new friends in Germany.




It's off to Millenium Park in Downtown Chicago tomorrow am, then to the airport. More blogging over the weekend.

Location:Faith Lutheran, Glen Ellyn
