A Benefit Concert Supporting A Place to Turn Food Pantry
Sunday, October 5 @ 3 pm – In the sanctuary
Together with nine other faith communities, Open Spirit and Edwards Church’s Justice and Love in Action Team are hosting a jazz concert to benefit A Place to Turn. Entitled I Am My Neighbor’s Keeper, the concert features compositions which respond to the political and racial division in our country, highlighting our commitment to one another and reminding us that as our neighbor’s keeper, we should help one another.
The concert will feature a double quartet (one of the quartets being a string quartet), led by Mr. Avery Sharpe who has performed with a host of jazz greats such as Dizzy Gillespie, Yusef Lateef, Freddie Hubbard and Wynton Marsalis. The compositions are laden with Jazz, Gospel, African, Blues and other influences.
Admission is free, and all free-will donations are appreciated. A donation range of $30 – $80 is suggested for those who are able.
