Many Gifts One Spirit Collaborates with Canadian Composer R. Murray Schafer
A new music-drama, JoB - A Cosmic Tapestry, based on the Book of Job, is now being created! The premier performances will be on May 14 and 15, 2011, at 8:00 p.m. at Sydenham Street United Church.
An exciting new R. Murray Schafer project at Sydenham Street United Church, Kingston!
Last year, Many Gifts One Spirit produced the music drama "Jonah" with artistic direction by R. Murray Schafer himself. This year, we are excited to be partnering with Murray and his partner Eleanor James in the creation of a new music drama based on the Book of Job.
We are proud to announce that Many Gifts One Spirit has received a $9,000 grant from the City of Kingston Arts Fund, to commission and produce this work.
What is Many Gifts One Spirit?
We are a community-based youth program sponsored by Sydenham Street United Church in Kingston, Ontario. Many Gifts One Spirit presents artistic opportunities for children (ages 4-9) on Sunday mornings, and youth (ages 9-16) on Mondays after school.
