TRANSCRIPT
THE COMMUNITY CHURCH OF VERO BEACH Founded in 1924 in the belief that there is more that binds us together
than separates us in the worship of God.”
Known for supporting and promoting the performing arts, The Community
Church of Vero Beach is also the home of the Atlantic Ringers, Atlantic Choirs
and Youth Choirs, Tapestry Brass as well as the Vero Beach Choral Society and
the professional chamber choir, Synergy.
Music plays such an important role in our lives. It has the power to raise the
spirit to soaring heights and also enhance our earthly home. Here at Community
Church we strive to present a spiritual experience through music. We welcome
you to our community.

Director of Music and Fine Arts

*Ode to Love ~ Ode to Joy Serenade- Leonard Bernstein
Symphony No. 9 op. 125 in D Minor “the Choral”- Ludwig van Beethoven
Thursday, January 18, 2018 The Community Church of Vero Beach
7:30PM
Leonard Bernstein made his mark with West Side Story—but his work went
well beyond the Broadway stage. The ACO will explore his Serenade, which, like West Side Story, is imbued with gorgeous tunes, rhythmic playfulness, and a distinctly American energy. Ludwig van Beethoven's final completed symphony, known as "the Choral", swept audiences off their feet from the very first performance—and continues to do so almost two centuries later. This piece is in collaboration with the Atlantic Classical Orchestra, Vero Beach Choral Society, Treasure Coast Community Singers, and The Community Church of Vero Beach Chancel Choir.
