| Jazz Vespers featuring the Antoinette Montague Quartet The Church-in-the-Gardens is presenting a Jazz Vespers featuring the Antoinette Montague with Danny Mixon and Solomon Hicks. The service begins at 5 PM sharp and will conclude at 6:30 PM. It will take place in the Sanctuary at 50 Ascan Avenue in Forest Hills Gardens at the intersection of Greenway North and Ascan Avenue. We are presenting these services for those who may want to have a different experience in worship. The music will be the main focus and the word will supplement it. There will be a suggested offering of $20 per attendee but children, students and those with financial hardships can attend for free. Free parking passes are available at the church. We welcome you to this evening service based in music, supplemented by a short message from our new interim pastor Ron Wilson. f you are still singing the winter blues, jazz up your mood with the sounds of the Antoinette Montague Quartet which will be performing at the next Jazz Vespers to be held at The Church-in-the-Gardens in Forest Hills Gardens, NY on April 12. Starring the soulful Antoinette Montague, fellow musical artists Danny Mixon, Solomon Hicks, and Bobby Sanabria round out the quartet. Bill Gati will also be making a special appearance, along with his saxophone. The Jazz Vespers had its debut last Spring with the uplifting music of Jimmy Heath and Jeb Patton, a dynamic duo, and has since become a seasonal favorite at The Church-in-the-Gardens. International Jazz Hall of Famer Junior Mance, who was once a member of Dizzy Gillespie's band, entertained us on our very own piano and dazzled us with his quartet in the Fall. Christmastime, we were treated to the joyous harmonies of the Helen Sung Quartet. An interesting backdrop to these exciting performances is the fact that they all coincided with our 100th Anniversary celebrations in picturesque Forest Hills Gardens. It is a memorable time for our Church and community so, if you missed any of these services, be sure to come to this next one and keep an eye out for future events. Leave your blues at the door and walk into history with us as we celebrate God's music once again along with a brief message from our new interim pastor, C. Ronald Wilson, in our beautiful, historic Sanctuary located at 50 Ascan Avenue. It will be a moment you won't soon forget. The Vespers will be from 5:00 PM until 6:30 PM. A $20 donation will be requested in the form of an offering to help offset costs but don't let that deter you from coming if you cannot afford it especially if you are a child, student or just experiencing financial hardship. Our desire is for all to be blessed so give what you can or just bring yourself and a friend. Parking passes will be provided by the Church for those coming by car. Make sure you pick them up at the entranceway to the Church before you park so that you do not get booted. Forest Hills Gardens is a private community. We look forward to seeing you. by Constance Shell Radut write your comments about the article :: © 2014 Jazz News :: home page |
