“Music For a Winters Evening” benefit concert (3/3)

By admin | Published March 13, 2011

The Corpus Christi Male Choral is a very powerful vocal group who played a variety of Christmas songs to raise money for the Mustard Seed. Legacy Kitchens was a major sponsor of this event. Steve Bell is an exponential singer, with Billboard Magazine calling Steve “a Canadian musical treasure.” Definitely a Canadian treasure, Steve is a devoted artist to music and his faith, producing fifteen albums as a Canadian independent artist, and has a won a host of Canadian music awards, including two JUNO awards. Steve Bell apologized to the audience for the quality of his voice for the evening’s concert, but as with every concert I have been to of his, his vocal quality was amazing. His performance was rich, and emotionally compelling, Steve painted beautiful journeys surrounding the theme of Christmas to the audience, with heartwarming bellows and a cheerful composure. Speaking briefly to give context to the audience of his upcoming songs, a truly memorable performance was given surrounding the question, “What ever happened to the Three Kings?” Steve’s original composition spoke of love, compassion and joy, and was sung with fantastic energy. The song that closed his slot in the concert also included two accompanying viola and violin, adding a most fantastic and complementary addition to the warmth of Steve Bell’s voice.

“Music For a Winters Evening” benefit concert (2/3)

By admin | Published March 13, 2011

The Corpus Christi Male Choral is a very powerful vocal group who played a variety of Christmas songs to raise money for the Mustard Seed. Legacy Kitchens was a major sponsor of this event.

The Mustard Seed Affordable Housing Development will provide 224 units of stable housing for Calgary’s homeless population, with all proceeds from the “Music for a Winter Evening” benefits concert going to this cause. Encouraging patrons to help furnish these units by donations, the concert proved to be very special to the Mustard Seed in other ways as well. Several Mustard Seed clients were able to attend the benefits concert, sponsored by wonderful and generous individuals that allowed the beautiful music of a live concert experience to touch very deserving hearts.

Russel Moore, who stepped in to replace Darel Janz at the very last moment as Darel was unable to attend due to a medical injury. Russel Moore had a great flair for entertaining the audience with funny jokes such as “why don’t sheep shrink in the rain?”. Click thumbnail to view image.
