ELLISVILLE- 糖心直播鈥檚 select vocal ensemble, JC Voices will be performing for the first time at the Lauren Rogers Museum of Art in Laurel, on Thursday, November 9, at 6 p.m. The vocal performance entitled, 鈥淥riginal Design鈥� is a concert filled with the message of hope in today鈥檚 worldly challenges. Choral Director, Dr. Imgyu Kang said many are still dealing with the impact of the Covid pandemic and music is a way to offer peace in the darkness.
鈥淭his world seems to be getting darker and darker with war and hunger. I believe that we were originally designed and created with blessings of joy and love to share with one another, and I hope that this concert can be a time for restoration. I hope this music will be a light in all the darkness in the world today and that it can unite us in the face of such division,鈥� said Kang.
Some of the vocal selections performed by the 25-member ensemble include music from the Renaissance and Baroque periods, along with contemporary, hymnal and spiritual songs. Additionally, as a South Korean immigrant who has been living in the U.S. for 25 years, Dr. Kang will be sharing a Korean folk song he and his wife, Sungsil arranged called, 鈥淎rirang鈥� which mixes the melody of the American religious hymn, 鈥淎mazing Grace鈥� with the Korean folk song, 鈥淎rirang.鈥�
