Jazz Vespers

Sacred Silence Sacred Sounds

Please join us for this month’s Jazz Vespers, an opportunity to quiet external distractions and inner chatter through readings, prayers and the music of Geordie Haley and Lukas Pearce.

He heads the Guitar program at the NSCC Waterfront Music Arts Department and has been teaching at the Maritime Conservatory since 2009.

He has served as the Artistic Director of the Upstream Music Association, as well as presenting the annual Open Waters Festival of New and Improvised Music.

Here’s what people are saying about Jazz Vespers:

“The Jazz Vespers service provided me with a reflective and pensive moment, finding meaning and purpose in myself,  connecting more closely with God and others.”  -Dahrl

 

“In a time of global distress and individual uneasiness, to say nothing of the pressures of “too many things to do and too little time”, the Vespers hour provided a quiet and healing retreat where life was reduced to thoughts of remembrance of the past, reassessment of the present and refreshment for the future.”    -Gisela

The Greg Ritchie Trio (Jan 2024)
