Sounds of Faith - a Tapestry of Sound of the Jewish, Christian and Muslim Traditions

 

The haunting call of the shofar, the powerful call to prayer of the muezzin, the beauty of voices joined in chorus, and the majestic pipe organ clothe those gathered in Rockefeller Chapel in a rich tapestry of joyful sacred sounds from Judaism, Islam and Christianity in Sounds of Faith, on Sunday, Nov. 15 at 5 pm. Performed by leading Chicago practitioners including Cantors Alberto Mizrahi and Deborah Bard, Angela Spivey, Amir Koushkani, Salem Baptist Choir, and Rockefeller Chapel Choir with University Organist Thomas Weisflog, this celebration of diverse sounds of faith will be introduced by journalist Bill Kurtis.

Sounds of Faith brings a local focus to a global theme: the sacred sounds of our traditions, connecting us to the divine, and filled with the potential to build dialogue and mutual understanding between faiths through their shared history, geography, and experience. Although the event is free, donations are gratefully accepted. For more information, call 773.702.7059.
