Worship Service Video for April 19, 2020 https://www.youtube.com/watch

Tonight, Vancouver's historic Orpheum Theatre will remain dark on Good Friday for the first time in over 40 years. After decades of operation as a vaudeville an...d movie house, it was purchased by the City of Vancouver in 1974, underwent major renovations, and reopened in April 1977. Since then, it has served as one of the choir's (not to mention the city's) primary concert venues. Our 1977/78 season at the Orpheum included performances of Handel's "Judas Maccabaeus" and "Messiah", and... Bach's "St. John Passion", the same work we had planned to perform this evening. Countless people help ensure such large-scale events as these are successful, and tonight we salute the artists, the VCC and Vancouver Civic Theatres staff, the volunteers, the stage managers, the technical crew, the ushers, the box office attendants, the ticket takers, the coat check personnel, the security guards, the photographers, the audio technicians, the graphic designers, the program typesetters, the printers, the caterers, the bar staff and the custodians all of whom have the night off instead of coming together to present you, our loyal audience, with a night of wonderful music. We are delighted to be able to share with you a performance of the aria, "Ich folge dir gleichfalls", which VCC soprano Christina Cichos was to have performed on the Orpheum stage this evening. The video, recorded recently for Pacific Spirit United Church, also features frequent VCC guest artist, organist Bryn Nixon. We wish you a safe and healthy Easter and Passover, and look forward to making music with you and for you in the near future.

We're finding ways to stay connected in this time. As part of this process we will be exploring ways that we can continue to have a sense of worship and community while we are not able to physically be together. Attached is a link to a series of Sunday worship videos from Pacific Spirit United Church for the week of March 22, 2020. The videos feature music, scripture, sermon, and story time. https://www.youtube.com/playlist
