For lunch, we will be treated to a soup-and-salad party. Call the church office to sign up.

Saturday, January 21, 7:00 p.m. Eric Mintel Quartet - “An Evening of Outstanding Jazz” followed by a brief reception where we will “meet and greet” the quartet. Eric Mintel, pianist and composer, formed the Eric Mintel Quartet in 1993. He is a composer of orchestra and choral music and performs his composition, “Millennium Suite” (for orchestra and jazz quartet) with various symphonies throughout the country. The quartet’s choral concerts feature the rarely heard sacred choral music of Duke Ellington performed with various choirs throughout the country combining jazz and choral music. Eric has performed at the White House for President Clinton in 1998, and been interviewed and featured in Down Beat Jazz Magazine. In June 2005, Eric was a featured guest on Marian McPartland’s Piano Jazz on NPR, and recently the quartet opened for Dave Brubeck at the Kimmel Center in Philadelphia. In November 2005, Eric released a 3 CD boxed set of his jazz on the QTV Television network. With over ten concerts at the Kennedy Center and Eric’s willingness to bring jazz to different regions, this exciting performer continues to connect and communicate with audiences of all ages throughout the country and the world.
