Special Christmas Eve Jazz Vespers concert at St. Andrew’s-Wesley
posted by Brian Nation
 On Christmas Eve three of the finest women vocalists in the lower Mainland will present a special Jazz Vespers concert at St. Andrew’s-Wesley. Karin Plato, Jennifer Scott, and Kate Hammett-Vaughan will offer their gift to the city--an hour of holiday treats ranging from traditional carols to popular tunes, each song especially arranged to blend perfectly the voices of this dynamic trio. Each woman is a star in her own right, and this is the only time of the year when you’ll be able to hear them together. There’s no admission charge but the offering will benefit Covenant House which exists for young people aged 16-24 who often have no one else. Most have fled physical, emotional and/or sexual abuse or have been forced from their homes. Covenant House bandages their feet cut up from days and nights walking the streets; gives them hot food and a warm bed; and supports them in their choice to change their circumstances while helping them heal from past traumas. Consider this scenario: a young woman, pregnant, terrified by the big city, wandering the streets with no place to lay her head. Sound familiar this Christmastime? This is your chance to enjoy some terrific music and support an organization which helps youngsters exactly like her. St. Andrew’s-Wesley where Jazz meets the Spirit. Burrard/Nelson Streets Thursday, December 24 - 4 pm Free admission, free parking. http://www.standrewswesleychurch.bc.ca |
