The music from Duke Ellington’s Concert of Sacred Music invites us to reflect on the divine presence, both as it exists now and as it has from the beginning. It envelops us in grace and urges us toward love.
With the choir, big band, and soloist Cecille Elliott, the First Unitarian Church of Portland will worship to the soundtrack of selections from Duke Ellington’s iconic “Concerts of Sacred Music.” We honor one of America’s greatest composers during the week of the 50th anniversary of his death while contemplating his vision for freedom—an increasingly relevant and desperate vision, even for today.
