Enjoy music and help Hope Station at Friday’s annual concert

A variety of music will be included in the 12th annual Music for Hope concert. The event is a fundraiser for Hope Station and starts at 7 p.m. Friday at First Christian Church.

Organizers say the concert has become a meaningful tradition and one that members of the music community look forward to every year

Musicians for the approximately 75-minute concert include Carmen Parker, vocalist; Chris Bridges, Forest Hills Baptist Church minister of music; Zackery Ross, organist; David Scott, alto saxophone; Elizabeth Winstead, owner of The Singers Studio and vocalist; Caleb Skinner, West Nash United Methodist Church director of music; Sherry Lee Allen, director of Theatre at Barton; Hannah Slaughter, vocalist; Matthew Young, Cindy Darden, Casey Childers and Greg Dixon, pianists; and Jack Fisher and Robby Boyette, clarinet.

The show will feature a variety of music, including a rousing rendition of “Frankenstein”; a piano and organ duet of “Holy, Holy, Holy”; “The Prayer” by David Foster; a feisty piano duet of “The Inspector Gadget” theme; “Let It Be” by the Beatles; and “Young Love” by Elton John.

The program will conclude with a mass choir singing “Draw the Circle Wide” by Mark Miller that includes the key phrase for this program, “Let this be our song. No one stands alone.”

A free will offering will be received to support Hope Station’s on-going programs to alleviate homelessness and hunger in Wilson.  Last year, $4,390 was raised.
