MAPLEWOOD'S OWN JOHNSTON AND CRISCI LEAD ST. JOE'S CONCERT TONIGHT

From St. Joseph's Church:



St. Joseph’s Church, 767 Prospect Street in Maplewood, will host a one-hour performance at 7:00 PM.  Presented by Triad Arts Ensemble, this music ministry directly benefits three New Jersey organizations that support those impacted by HIV/AIDS and in memory of those lost to the disease:  New Jersey AIDS Services, based in Morristown; the NAMES Project Foundation of Northern NJ, which supports the AIDS Memorial Quilt; and the AIDS Resource Foundation for Children in Newark.

Canticles Chairperson Ginny Johnston, of Maplewood, will conduct the 26-voice Triad Vocal Ensemble, which will feature a mix of styles including anthems, Broadway, and an inspiring new work, “Even Here” by New Jersey composer Mark Miller and lyricist Laurie Zelman.

Rounding out the program will be the Dan Crisci Jazz Trio, offering some exciting instrumental selections. Additionally, panels from the AIDS Memorial Quilt will be on display. The concert is free, but an offering will be accepted in support of the Canticles concert ministry. Call Triad Arts Ensemble at 973-763-5481, or visit www.CanticlesforLife.org for further information. The annual Canticles for Life Concerts began in the spring of 1997 and have raised over $124,000 to support those impacted by HIV/AIDS.
