Spirituality in the Arts
Spirituality in the Arts is a series of performances and exhibitions that began
in 2004. Featuring both amateur and professional artists, musicians, and
performers -- some from Nativity, some from outside -- we seek to glorify God
and to entertain by offering arts events that communicate God's love for us
and our love for God and one another.
The general public is invited. There is no charge, except where art
consumables are needed or dinner is included. Events are held at
Nativity.
Schedule for the 2010 season Finale:
- Sunday, June 6, 4 pm. "Tosca, Tunes, and Tofu - Take Six",
an afternoon of music from opera to Broadway, from art songs to folk songs,
topped off by a reception featuring
Tofu dishes.
Join us for a unique concert of opera and vocal highlights
featuring our multilingual sopranos and professional instrumentalists.
Selections include music by Schumann, Berlioz, Bizet, Villa-Lobos and
a little ditty from the Broadway show "My Fair Lady" that will make
the audience wish they could have danced all night.
Instrumentalists will add brilliant touches with solo performances
from Vivaldi to Verdi, including "Fantasia on Rigoletto" performed by
NC Symphony Principal Clarinetist Jimmy Gilmore.
Soprano Waltye Rasulala, Nativity's choir director, adds a Brazilian
twist with Heitor Villa-Lobos' Aria from Bachianas Brasileras No. 5.
She will be accompanied by the haunting sound of a cello choir, led by
NC Symphony Associate Principal Cellist Elizabeth Beilman.
Following the concert join us for a reception to meet the performers
and nibble on tofu specialties.
