2012 – From Joy to Joy

Harmonia presents …..
From Joy to Joy
A Musical Celebration
Saturday June 2, 2012
6:00 pm – 7:45 pm
Southern Village Christ United Methodist Church
We all had a wonderful time at the concert on Saturday, June 2, 2012! We counted over 100 people in the audience, and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves immensely. The audience was so taken with one piece, “World of Fading Light”, by Charles Higgins, that they started applauding long before it was over!





Program:

There are days we live … from joy
to joy to joy, from wing to wing,
from blossom to blossom to
impossible blossom, to sweet impossible blossom.
