Summer Concert Series

summer concernt series flyer

Wednesday, June 12 at 7:00 pm in the Sanctuary

Classical and flamenco guitarist Randall Ferguson will be playing music representing the history of the guitar, from renaissance court music to the exciting syncopated dance rhythms of Spanish flamenco, on instruments that date from 1785, 1830, 1850 and 1900 to present. In a combination recital/lecture/
demonstration format, Randall will play and talk about the history and evolution of the guitar, its design and music. Randall also includes information about the musical contributions of Martin Luther, a fine lutenist who did all of his composing on the instrument. Luther felt that one of his greatest contributions to the church was the inclusion of the congregation into the worship service through hymnody (later referred to as the Lutheran Choral Tradition). Please join us for this fantastic program!

 

Wednesday, August 7 at 7:00 pm in the Sanctuary

We will be treated to an evening of bluegrass music with a concert given by the Sawtooth Bluegrass Band on August 7 at 7:00 pm.  In the tradition of classic bluegrass brother harmonies, the Sawtooth Bluegrass Band, with two sets of musical brothers, melds the sounds of the original bluegrass masters with the fresh sounds of today. Combining close harmony vocals, driving instrumentation, and a sense of fun and high energy, they have a stage show that has audiences wanting more. Their repertoire includes traditional and contemporary bluegrass, classic country, gospel, original pieces & even some 70’s era rock. You won’t want to miss this concert!

Cleaning buckets are distributed after floods, tornadoes, hurricanes etc. We will assemble 10 Flood Buckets for UMCOR after the Maundy Thursday services. If you would like to donate a flood bucket, please check the list and the directions carefully. You may also choose to make a donation in the amount a flood bucket would cost – $55. Make your check out to Rosemount UMC and mark it “Cleaning Buckets”. All cleaning buckets should be delivered to the church before May 1.
