Theodicy Jazz Collective to Perform Patriotic-Themed Concert

Save the date for our last concert of the 2019-20 season happening Sunday, May 17 at 4:00 pm. A Patriotic themed concert, featuring the Theodicy Jazz Collective.  The group formed at Oberlin Conservatory and grew during residency at the Yale Institute of Sacred Music from 2008-2012. They had a tour of England that culminated in the world premiere of their own composition, the Canterbury Jazz Mass, with the choirs at Canterbury Cathedral.

Incorporating sounds from the traditions of jazz and gospel music and rhythms from Latin America and Africa, the music is a constant prayer, sometimes a shout of joy, sometimes a call to action, sometimes a cry for hope. Theodicy has provided music for conferences and in communities such as the National Council of Churches, the Washington National Cathedral, The House of Bishops and General Convention of the Episcopal Church, and Canterbury Cathedral.

At St. John’s Episcopal Church, 9130 Frederick Road, Ellicott City, MD. Get your tickets today at www.hococo.org.
