Nature’s Timeless Comfort
Faythe Vollrath, Harpsichordist
 
Sunday, April 14, 2:30 pm
 
As humans, we have always been drawn to God’s gift of nature to refresh and renew us.  When our souls are weary, the Creator gives forests, mountains, and oceans to bring comfort and peace.  Composers of all eras have also used themes of nature as one of their vehicles of expression, to share nature’s gifts through music.  This concert explores nature through the sound of music.

Faythe received first prize with an excellence nomination in the Vivaldi International Music Competition and was a semi-finalist in the Petrichor International Music Competition in 2022.  Free-will offering
