This Week at Old South Haven Church

 

      "With the arrival of Pope Francis, and reflecting on his encyclical On Care for Our Common Home, I am reminded that we are at a transformative moment in human history in which our many traditions must come together to fulfill our sacred obligation to care not only for each other but also for our home. There is no better time to act than now."

We are thrilled to present another concert at Old South Haven Presbyterian Church. We were so beautifully received here last year and when Pastor Tom asked us to sing another recital, we jumped at the opportunity! We were married in June and wanted to present a concert of love songs from our different heritages. Maria grew up on Long Island with an Italian-American background, and Dimitrie in Pittsburgh as a Serbian-American. When we were united in marriage we warmly embraced each other's culture and family, (Italian and Slavic). We also had a firm grasp and love of music from America, being that we were born here. Hence we are presenting in the second half of our program our American favorites in folk song, sacred, and musical theater pieces. We hope you enjoy our tapestry of heritages and you feel at home listening to these different songs, duets, and arias which we love to sing and which brings us together.

--Maria and Dimitrie
