COVID-19 Virtual Benefit Concert
CtK Choir in the
Community
Christ the King Choir was invited to sing with the Unity World Choir in Smithsonian-sponsored Ethereality: Celestial Dreams and the Great Beyond on Saturday, October 12, 2019. This choral and orchestral concert, interspersed with meditations about the intersection of science and faith, was the final event in the Smithsonian's 50th anniversary celebration of the Apollo 11 Lunar Landing. The program was sponsored The National Museum for African American History, and Culture and The Center for Studies in African American Religious Life; hosted by world-renowned mezzo-soprano, Denyce Graves; and produced by Neworks Productions. The focus was the inspirational and awe-inspiring greatness of God in the cosmos and our harmonious interactions on this earth. One of the meditations was a quote by Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., on the subject: "Science gives man knowledge, which is power; religion gives man wisdom, which is control. Science deals mainly with facts; religion deals mainly with values. The two are not rivals." CtK Choir Director Ann Lee said,"The choir was honored to share this musical experience; but mostly, we are grateful for the opportunity to connect with a diverse group of believing brothers and sisters with the goal of grateful unity."
