April 21, 2021 – Sarasota
Venice Presbyterian Church’s concert series brings together Key Chorale’s Chamber Singers and the Stephen Lynerd Group for a virtual evening that celebrates the best and brightest of gospel music and spirituals. The concert premieres April 23 and runs through May 23.
Venice Presbyterian Church has garnered a wonderful relationship with Key Chorale over the last four years. Having seen much of the choir world go dormant over the last year, Key Chorale has found many ways to virtually bring world-class choral music to the community. As their season comes to a close, the Venice Community Concert Series is excited to present this virtual concert, “Let Everything That Has Breath.” Not only will you be clapping your hands and tapping your toes to the lively sounds of the choir, Hammond B-3, and gospel band, but you might even shed a tear as the rich and dark tones of the chorale as they present spirituals of pain, grief, and triumph.
From jazz and blues, to driving gospel, to passionate and powerful simplicity, this concert showcases the variety of style and expression of the African-American spiritual. Memorable solo performances by Amy Connours, Ellen VanDolah, and Minister of Music and Worship Jamal Sarikoki capture the essence and the spirit of this American artform.
Tickets to watch the 70-minute online streaming video are $15 per household; patrons will receive a viewing link that can be activated any time during the streaming run from April 23, 7 PM – May 23, 8:30 PM. To purchase, go to https://www.venicepres.org/vccs-concert.
