SANTA CRUZ SACRED MUSIC FEST - THANK YOU !

Thank you for your heartfelt participation. It was a moving experience to see us rise to our very best. People were really moved by you, including the clinician, who complimented me profusely. This surely helps to elevate our program, attract gifted singers to our ministry and our church, all for the Glory of God. Thank you for your dedication to the choral art and its important role in the church. With Deep Appreciation - Julie

Jonathan Dimmock CD submitted to the GRAMMY nomination process!


Jonathan, our church organist and accompanist for all choirs, has produced an extraordinary CD, "Sweelinck: Master of the Dutch Renaissance," which has just been submitted to go through the Grammy nomination process! The category is called “Best edited Classical Recording.” The album was recorded on two 16th century organs in the Netherlands (Oosthuizen and Hattem) and a mean-tone organ in Göteborg, Sweden. The Grammy awards are not until next January, by which time Jonathan should have two more CDs released. The Sweelinck CD is available from Bev Fellows in the church office. It’s a double-CD and sells for $25.
