Within every artist is the seed of magic. That is our legacy, to aspire, to come to the realization and resolution, and of which to seek the comfort. We singers are little Johnny Appleseeds. Throughout the landscape of human interaction it is our duty to uplift, encourage, and amuse the inhabitants of this lonely world. We plant the seeds of wonder and nourish them with sensitivity in the hope that they will bear fruit ripe with excitement and novelty. And the subject is Christmas and we must rise to the telling.
Close to our consciousness is the law of love that binds us all. There is an inner voice that stirs our souls to reach out beyond our own circumstances to embrace our neighbors, our planet, our stars. The heart of the universe begins to beat with an earnestness that melds the intention together and we seem as one before the Lord of all creation. Christmas is our celebration of this feeling that there are no barriers between us, only the love of God that takes away the pain of loneliness and surrounds us with the warmth of acceptance.
Jeannine has reached into our traditions and compiled a sampling of the most enduring memories she hopes will instill within us the spirit of the season. Just the right ingredients are involved in the making of the best meal and this will be a feast for the soul. From Josquin to Bach to Mel Torme, all the components come together for a special afternoon designed to release the Christmas character in all of us. God bless us, everyone!
