mosaic harmony

I went to a gospel concert this afternoon performed by a group called Mosaic Harmony, directed by Pastor David North (the gentleman on the very left in the beige suit). Mosaic Harmony is by their own definition:

"A multicultural, interfaith choir based in the Washington, D.C. area, we were founded in 1993. Now about 90 members strong, our members belong to more than 17 faith traditions and range in age from 14 to 78." (www.mosaicharmony.com)

They were pretty incredible. I had a lot of respect for David North already, having been my pastor for the past 3 years. He and his partner, David, have been together for over ten years. They are an amazing couple.

There were a couple of cool things about the concert that stuck out in my mind.

My favorite performer was the woman on the left in the blue scarf. I don't know her name, but I was amazed by her energy and her smile.

And there was a row of members from the Red Hat Society. It's an organization that claims that "there is fun after fifty (and before) for women of all walks of life." (Sara told me about this....I just thought the hats were awesome.)

Overall, it was an amazing time. i'm definitely gonna have to work on my gospel collection. if i ever figure out how to post videos, i will post the short clips i have on my camera.
