Genesis+Art will be exhibiting their New Jerusalem Series at the Plymouth Congregational Church, Minneapolis and will be part of a fund raising concert. Join us for an evening of music and art to benefit Lutheran Mideast Development. LMD is inseparable from the history of the modern Middle East. Through famine, epidemic, earthquake and war, LMD has stood fast with the Kurdish, Persian, Arab, Turkish, Armenian, Assyrian and Jewish people, who together weave the human tapestry of this troubled region. Through it all, LMD strives to bring peace and wholeness to the communities it serves. LMD has a special emphasis on the Kurds, a nation of more than 20 million people living across the frontiers of the Middle East.

The concert will feature violinist Jennifer Curtis; Brahms, Sonata No. 1 for violin and piano in G major, Op. 78. George Enescu, Airs in Romanian Folk style and original compositions and improvisations. Duo Pianos with Matthew Hand and Vince Phillips; Works for two pianos including Symphonic Dance No. 1, Op. 45 by Sergei Rachmaninoff and the Grieg/Mozart Sonata for two pianos.

FROM OUR JOURNAL PAGES:


Chuck + Peg: Orange is one of the healing colors and is also thought that it stimulates enthusiasm and creativity. Orange means vitality with endurance. Orange spiritually effects our creativity, harmony, passion, freedom and intuition. Three gates reside on each side of the New Jerusalem and speak to the virtues of faith, hope and love. We’re not sure that we set out on this path when we began painting, but considering it’s meanings and symbols, coming out of a world and culture of uncertain gray, it gives us hope for the future.
