Organissimo Opens the Second Season

From MAJIC 2008-2009 Concerts


For its opening concert of the season, MAJIC
had the honor of hosting one of the best bands in town--Organissimo. The band started off with some of their lively tunes, and I noticed half of the heads in the audience bobbing up and down. Organissimo featured tunes from their newly released CD Groovadelphia. It is always a treat for someone like me, who has been following the band for five years to hear them keep writing and playing new stuff. What a blessing for Grand Rapids!

Thanks to the band for donating a portion of the CD sales to the Coalition to End Homelessness, and to everyone who attended the concert. We had over 80 people at the event and raised $680.00!

Local artist Mic Carlson graced our narthex art gallery with a beautiful selection of his original paintings and a set of bronze sculptures and prints inspired by St. Francis of Assisi.

Thanks to Kirby Hanson for shooting some great photos of the concert and reception. Be sure to check them out on the right hand side of the screen. Click on the photo album to see them in a larger format.
