Our Going Global concerts were again amazing, with high energy and lots of singing. Thanks to all who came out to join in the celebrations, and to the host communities in Abbotsford and Parksville who put all the details together and made us feel at home. And of course a big thanks to the choir singers who joined us, and to the local musicians who added great energy and musicality to our ensemble.

New date announced for another concert in the series – join us June 4th at Crossroads United Church in Delta, BC!

Join us as the Going Global concert series continues! We’re gearing up for two big concerts this weekend in Abbotsford and Parksville, BC, Canada. A five-piece band plus choir, piano and organ, sharing in a participatory evening of roots music and songs of the Spirit from around the world. More than anything, it’s an opportunity to make music with some of my favourite people: Rob Copeman-Haynes (double bass), Kocassalé Dioubaté (djembe and percussion), Leonard Eagle Cloud Howell (vocals, guitar, native flutes) and Amarjeet Singh Vabhana (tabla), plus mass choir and musicians from the local communities. If you’re in the area, we’d love to see you and sing with you! These should be amazing evenings of singing, rhythm and Spirit. Details at events.evensong.ca
