We would like to thank everyone who attended and participated in The Carmelite Sisters in Concert: Unplugged. It was a truly grace-filled and prayerful celebration of the love and presence of the Lord in every moment and detail of our lives.
The music was a celebration of hope; one that will continue to burn in our hearts as we move forward following His path in faith. It is our deep joy to be able to share this sacred part of our lives with you. God reward and bless you abundantly for your tremendous outpouring of love, support and generosity. Please be assured of our prayers for you!
If there’s one thing I’ve learned, as a publicist for a number of classical musical organizations for more years than I care to count, it’s that a sold out performance is a rarity.
Actually, let me rephrase that: a sold out performance is a rarity for smaller, lesser known ensembles lacking a star conductor at the helm – say, a super nova like Gustavo Dudamel, the new and incredibly young Music Director at the Los Angeles Philharmonic. To say that the 28-year-old Maestro has taken the classical music world by storm is to put it much too mildly. As the LA Times wrote last August, “Los Angeles has a mind-blowing crush on its new conductor—and rightly so.” Later, in that same article, the writer confessed that hearing one of Dudamel’s performances “made my heart feel too big for my chest.”
Those of us who attended The Carmelite Sisters in Concert: Unplugged on Sunday, March 7 and Monday, March 8 know exactly what the writer meant. Our hearts felt too big for our chests, too, as we heard the Sisters perform an array of spiritual works from Gregorian Chants to Christian Praise Music. [Click here to continue reading]
