St. Paul’s Church would like to invite you to a very special evening. St. Paul’s has been sponsoring a Syrian Refugee family, and this evening will be a fundraiser in support of the family. This special performance is called “J.S. Bach’s Long Walk in the Snow”. Johann Sebastian Bach is usually seen as the wise, old man of Western Music, but he didn’t begin his working life that way. At 18, and in his first job as an organist, still barely beginning life as a composer, the young genius got into such trouble that the only thing he could do was to walk away. “JS Bach’s Long Walk in the Snow” takes you along on that trip: a 400 km odyssey to a glittering northern port city with street fights, big business, insight, fulfillment, the father figure he didn’t know he needed and, quite possibly, love. The story is narrated by the inimitable CBC personality, Tom Allen. Tom is a storyteller, concert host, author, musician and broadcaster. With glorious music, both familiar and gripping, Tom, along with his wife, Lori, and a cast of brilliant musical friends, bring the story of J.S. Bach’s Long Walk in the Snow to life, and that troubled young man in from the cold. This promises to be an amazing evening, in support of a wonderful family. We’d love you to join us on a journey where we discover that such an extraordinary artist was an ordinary man who faced those same struggles that so many of us face today. Tickets are $35. They can be purchased through the church office at (519) 485-3390 or via email at stpauls@execulink.com or at https://www.eventbrite.ca/ ($38.61 through eventbrite)
