Spectrum: Exploring the Range of the Human Voice vocal recital April 7, 2024 at Richmond Beach Congregation Church


The Recital Series at Richmond Beach Congregational Church presents:
Spectrum: Exploring the Range of the Human Voice
A VOCAL RECITAL BY MIRIAM GNAGY, SOPRANO, AND FRIENDS

Accomplished local soprano Miriam Gnagy (and friends) will present "Spectrum: Exploring the Range of the Human Voice" - a recital of art song, aria, and contemporary music showcasing the vast range of the singing voice—from works that showcase a wide tessitura, to various styles of singing, and depths of human emotion. 

Miriam is joined by pianist Dwight Beckmeyer; tenor and pianist Kaelee Bolme; and backing vocalists Katie Skovholt, Erin Gabriel, David Horton, and Danny Szydlo!

Program to feature:
  • Come Scoglio - from Mozart’s Cosi fan tutti
  • Nocturne for the Breathless
  • The Ballad of Jane Doe - from Ride the Cyclone

Featuring opera, art song, and contemporary works, from Mozart to Brandi Carlile: Come hear the striking leaps and coloratura in Mozart’s famous aria, Come Scoglio, from his opera, Cosi fan tutti. 

Stay as we progress into more contemporary art songs, including a new work titled, Nocturne for the Breathless, written by living composer Logan Essex (Hahn) - a piece written in response to Covid-19 – featuring artfully crafted word painting with exquisite poetry by Alexandra Smerenka. 

As we move into the final pieces of the concert we will feature several works from musical theater! You won’t want to miss The Ballad of Jane Doe, from the show Ride the Cyclone. Listen as Jane soars high into the ethers, lamenting why no one remembers who she is.

Mark your calendar for this wonderful hour of music with Miriam and friends at Richmond Beach Congregational Church!

A Cappella Northwest Barbershop concert Sunday at Richmond Beach Congregational Church

Saturday, March 9, 2024

The Recital Series at Richmond Beach Congregational Church presents:

Ensembles from A Cappella Northwest in Concert
Contemporary and Classic Barbershop Singing

Sunday, March 10, 2024 - 3pm
Richmond Beach Congregational Church, United Church of Christ
Free - with donations gratefully accepted ($20 suggested)

The (new!) Recital Series at Richmond Beach Congregational Church continues with a showcase of ensembles from A Cappella Northwest, an award-winning local barbershop society.

A Cappella Northwest (ACNW) is a dynamic participant in the ever-growing a cappella movement that has flourished over the last 30 years. 

One shining example of ACNW's vocal prowess is Vocal Vintage, a tenor/bass quartet with over six years of harmonious collaboration and nearly 150 years of collective a cappella singing experience. 

In October 2023, they clinched the Senior Quartet championship in the BHS Evergreen District. Their repertoire includes timeless classics like “It’s Only a Paper Moon,” “I Will Go Sailing No More,” “What a Wonderful World,” and “Old Folks are the Best Folks After All.”

Also featured is In the Mix, a new mixed quartet of singers making their debut performance on the recital series. Among the captivating melodies they will showcase are “Ebb Tide,” “I Got Rhythm,” “Almost Like Being in Love,” and “Lazy Day.”

Barbershop singing is a harmonious celebration. Tightly woven harmonies, ringing chords, and a seamless blend of voices in barbershop arrangements generate a distinctive, uplifting sound that elicits smiles and captivates hearts. 
The spirited camaraderie among singers, coupled with the infectious energy of the music, fosters an atmosphere of joy and shared enthusiasm, making barbershop performances an engaging and entertaining experience for all. 

Join us for a wonderful hour of barbershop singing, a time-honored musical tradition!

About the recital series:

ACNW is part of the King County 4Culture program and is also actively involved in promoting music education in our public schools.

Richmond Beach Congregational Church is part of the United Church of Christ, a progressive Protestant denomination. We are a ‘journey’ church, as opposed to an ‘answer’ church, which means that theological exploration is essential as we seek to discover what it means to be a human being in this world.

RBCC became a reality on Sunday, March 1, 1891, when 7 people presented themselves for membership; the current members and friends of RBCC-UCC carry on the 100-plus-year-old tradition of worship services and activities that are open and accepting of all who participate.

First Lutheran Preschool of Richmond Beach is thrilled to announce the inauguration of its brand-new playground, made possible by the generous contributions of numerous donors and the success of various fundraisers. 

After nearly two decades of faithful service, the previous playground was due for an upgrade, and thanks to the collective efforts of our community, this vision has become a reality. 

The official dedication ceremony took place on Sunday, February 25, 2024 marking a significant milestone for our preschool. The joyous occasion continued as our eager preschoolers reveled in the opportunity to explore the new playground for the first time the following day.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the donors who made this project possible, as well as the invaluable support from local Boy Scouts troop 325 and community members who volunteered their time and effort to assist with the installation of the old and new wood chips. 
Their commitment to enhancing the learning environment for our children is truly commendable.

As we look ahead, registration for the 2024-2025 school year at First Lutheran Preschool is now open. If you are interested in enrolling or scheduling a tour for your child and becoming part of our nurturing community, please visit our admissions page for more information. We look forward to welcoming new families into our cherished preschool community.

Each session will be a combination of practical information, an opportunity to ask your questions, and time to begin to write down your plans and start your own death binder.

When

Saturdays, 10am to Noon
February 24 — March 23

For over ten years St. Dunstan’s Episcopal Church in Shoreline has held a weekly Community Dinner every Tuesday, serving a buffet in the parish hall and delivering hot meals to four homeless encampments in Shoreline and Seattle. 

A dedicated group of volunteers, both parishioners and generous friends and neighbors, puts this on as a way to show God’s love to our community and especially to those in need. Altogether we feed 250-300 people every Tuesday.

Our beloved head cook, Dan, needs to take some time off for health reasons. One or two volunteers are needed, perhaps a retired couple with extra time, to fill in overseeing our Tuesday Community Dinners. Experience in a commercial kitchen is not required; we will gladly train you.

Duties include planning the weekly menu; gleaning food donations from local agencies; meal preparation and cooking on Mondays at the church with a team of volunteers; and supervising cooking, distribution of hot food to homeless camps, and serving of a buffet dinner at the church on Tuesdays. 

This is a substantial time commitment, but Dan will be available some of the time to provide guidance.

Can you and a partner or friend step forward to help? Or do you know someone who fits the bill? Interested people can contact St. Dunstan’s at 206-363-4319 or office@sdchp.org or email Deacon Alan Christensen

St. Dunstan's is located at 722 N 145th St, Shoreline WA 98133

St. Dunstan's to host emergency shelter again

St. Dunstan's Church at 722 N 145th St, Shoreline, WA 98133 will once again house a severe weather shelter but this time it will be staffed by the Urban League instead of local volunteers.

It will open on Wednesday, January 10, 2024 at 8pm for single adults and couples. Walk-ins are welcome but calling ahead to confirm a bed is available strongly encouraged. (206) 837 - 2746

Urban League can arrange transportation to the shelter for those in need via the shelter phone number (206) 837 – 2746.

As with most emergency shelters, guests will need to leave by 7am the next day.

It will be open this time from January 10 - 16, 2024.

The King County Regional Homeless Authority has been working with Urban League and St. Dunstan's to set up the North King County Severe Weather Shelter since the previous shelter, staffed by volunteers from NUHSA, closed down at the end of winter weather in 2023 after operating from 2018-2023. (more information here). 

  • Current information about shelter operations can be found at the KCRHA shelter page 
  • Mary’s Place operates an intake line for all family shelter placements. 206-245-1026.
  • Daytime warming centers are at several local libraries: Shoreline, Lake Forest Park, Kenmore, Bothell, plus the Kenmore Hanger.

The shelter is not able to accept donations at this time. If anyone is interested in donating supplies, they should contact Camp United We Stand which is currently being hosted by St Dunstan's. Contact information can be found on the camp's website.

The Art of Death: Preparing the Way for Those We Leave Behind

The Art of Death: Preparing the Way for Those We Leave Behind
Sunday January 7, 2024 -11:45am to 1:00pm

Since we do not know the hour of our death or the manner in which it comes, preparing the way for those left behind is relevant to every adult, not just aging baby boomers. 

The loved ones we leave behind deserve our consideration and attention. When you die, it is left to others to sort out your affairs. After your death, they will be in mourning, sad, angry, confused, and not at their thinking best. 

The better you plan before your death and the more conversations you have with them, the easier it will be for them. 

Grieving is hard enough without the added burden of making decisions and following up on things that were best done by the person who died.

As the one left behind, what do you wish you had known before your person died? What could they have done that would have made their absence more bearable? That would have made “getting on with it” easier?

Join us on Sunday at 11:45am as we begin to have conversations about The Art of Death: Preparing the way for those we leave behind. Share your stories of having loved ones die and how things went, whether good or not.

St. Dunstan’s Episcopal Church, 722 N 145th St, Shoreline WA 98133
