Support Lincoln’s refugee community and have fun doing it at Unity Lincoln’s JOY 4 Project Concert, 7 p.m., Oct. 15. This is the fourth annual JOY Project, and as in the past, attendees are asked to bring at least one item of winter clothing, especially coats, hats and gloves, that are new or in good used condition. Large bags of rice and, of course, money will gratefully be received too. No one will be turned away. Items received will be given to the Refugee Resettlement Office of the Lutheran Family Services of Nebraska for distribution.
The evening’s entertainment will include a sing-along, poetry readings, vocal solos, humorous readings, and the premiere of an original six-part vocal piece with cello and piano. Every year this event produces a great deal of happiness for the attendees – don’t miss it!
Solo performers will include Evan Coleman, Toni Stephens Coleman, Paul Fox, Annie Nuss, Dick Patterson, Connie Rose, and Julia Schleck. Performing the premiere piece by Janet Carlson, under the baton of Damon Lamberty, will be singers Eric Bachenberg, Janet Carlson, Evan Coleman, Toni Stephens Coleman, Paul Fox, Rosemary Hatton, Mark Mesarch, Peigi Mitzner, and Julia Schleck, joined by cellist Michele Bartos and pianist Kerri Flory.
