SING A NEW SONG (or 14!)

Tuesday, May 16th, 7:30, Snow Recital Hall at BYU-Idaho. Come join in singing some of my original new tunes using forgotten hymn texts from the original 1835 hymnal of the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, compiled by Emma Smith in answer to the Lord's request of her in section 25 of the Doctrine and Covenants.

If you know anyone that you think might be interested, please share this information!

We just held some rehearsals this weekend and I've got to say it was thrilling to hear these hymns brought to life by some very talented folks helping to introduce the melodies and accompany the singing.

It's is worth a watch even if you can't make it in person!

The event will be streaming live at this link: https://www.byui.edu/music/events/watch-live
