La Jolla Presbyterian Church

Hornswoggle “A Night at the Movies”*http://www.hornswogglesandiego.com/Hornswoggle is a convivial group of horn players of all ages that perform French Horn ensemble music. Many of them are hobbyists, others are band/orchestra directors, free lancers, professionals, private horn instructors, and high school and college music students. Conductor, John Lorge, San Diego Symphony’s Principal Horn Emeritus, brings many years of professional musician’s experience. Hornswoggle plays at many different events around San Diego County throughout the year.

LJPC’s Greatest Hitshttp://ljpres.org/concert-series/One of our Core Values at La Jolla Presbyterian Church is Celebrating, and that’s what this concert is all about! Our music ensembles work hard to prepare a piece and then often have only one opportunity to present it during the church year. Our Chancel Choir, LJ Brass, LJPC Orchestra, and Hand Bell Choir will select their favorite pieces presented during 2015-2016. The result will be our “2nd Annual Greatest Hits Concert.” Please join us as we celebrate God’s gift of music.

Pacific Coast Chorale 9/11 Benefit Concerthttp://www.pacificcoastchorale.org/Presented by the LJPC Clipper Club, this concert will be a moving tribute to not only those who perished on that day, but to the human spirit that enabled thousands to survive and to help each other heal in the aftermath of one of the most difficult days in American history. The concert will feature a selection of uplifting songs, ranging from spirituals, to pop and patriotic classics. A portion of the proceeds from this event will be given to San Diego’s Firefighters Aid organization. Please join us for this incredible evening.

Pipe Organ Re-dedication: Chelsea Chen*http ://www.chelseachen.com/Organist and composer Chelsea Chen grew up at LJPC, and is back to present a concert to rededicate our newly refurbished and expanded organ. She is one of the most promising organists of her generation, and has electrified audiences throughout the United States, Europe, Australia, and Asia. She has composed several original compositions, and has adapted music ranging from major classical repertoire to video game soundtracks to Taiwanese folk songs for the organ and other instruments.

Wheaton College Symphony Orchestra*https://www.facebook.com/WheatonCollegeSymphonyOrchestraThe Clipper Club of LJPC brings us the Wheation College Symphony Orchestra. They describe the making of music as an act of worship and service, calling for excellence as the norm of stewardship, and relating all of human creativity to the Glory of God. The orchestra plays music from the wide gamut of symphonic forms and eras, from the Baroque period to music of our time. The orchestra will perform a new work written for the orchestra by award-winning composition faculty member, Dr. Shawn Okpebholo and the Saint-Saens Organ Symphony featuring our organist, William Lullo.

2015-2016 La Jolla Presbyterian Church 54th Concert Series* & Special Music Events

Remembrance Quartet with Angela Petty http://ljpres.org/bbq La Jolla Presbyterian Church and Prince Chapel come together to bring you an afternoon of delightful music and delicious food. Remembrance Entertainment and Angela Petty fill the room with songs from Motown and Gospel. This special event begins with the concert at 3:00 pm and is followed by a BBQ dinner and BBQ Cook-off at Prince Chapel By The Sea (7517 Cuvier St). Sales from tickets will go to benefit Prince Chapel’s youth mentoring program and heating/AC repairs. For ticket info contact Jim Sedgwick, jims@ljpres.org or visit ljpres.org/bbq.

LJPC Christmas Concert: “Gloria”*http://ljpres.org/concert-series/“Gloria!” With this word the angels announced the birth of Christ, and with this word we open our annual Christmas extravaganza at LJPC in a program featuring many of our ensembles. Led by our Chancel Choir and accompanied by our LJ brass and a professional orchestra, this concert will highlight Poulenc’s sparkling music, “Gloria.” The last half of the concert will involve readings, carols and anthems old and new, and opportunities for the congregation to sing along. Our children will contribute to the first performance.

LJPC’s Chancel Choir: Haydn’s Lord Nelson Mass and Robert Ray’s Gospel Mass*http://ljpres.org/concert-series/Our spring choral concert will feature two spectacular settings, one Classical and the other Gospel. Masters of their genres, Haydn and Ray have composed music of power and passion to express the truths of these words. Haydn’s Lord Nelson Mass for chorus and orchestra reflects Haydn’s deep, personal faith. Robert Ray’s classic gospel version of an English translation of these same texts--accompanied by piano, bass and drum set--has been performed in churches and cathedrals.

* Free of charge, includes free parking, and is followed by a free reception!
