COMMUNITY St. Paul’s Episcopal Church Offers Liverpool-born Beatles Tribute to Musical Opportunities for All Ages Perform in Boca Raton on National Tour
St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, 188 S. Swinton Ave., Delray Beach, is pleased to invite the community to participate in its Chorister and Instrumental Programs. Participation is open to the public regardless of faith tradition. For more information on the musical opportunities at St. Paul’s, contact Dr. Paul Cienniwa, Director of Music Ministries: drpaul@stpaulsdelray.org, 561-2786003; or visit www.stpaulsdelray.org. The Chorister Program includes the Cherub Choir, Jubilate Youth Choir, and Chancel Choir and is affiliated with the Royal School of Church Music. The Cherub Choir, a pre-reading choir for children ages 4 through 6, meets on Wednesday afternoons at different times throughout the year in groups of four weekly rehearsals. At the end of a rehearsal cycle, the Cherub Choir sings for the 5pm Saturday Illuminated Worship service. The Jubilate Youth Choir, ages 6 and up, sings monthly during the academic year for the 10am Sunday service and at special events, such as Choral Evensong and Lessons & Carols. The choir follows the Royal School of Church Music “Voice for Life” curriculum, a graded program that teaches healthy singing habits, musical skills and understanding, and repertoire, while also teaching ensemble behavior (commitment, punctuality, responsibility). Rehearsals are on Thursdays from 4:30-6pm, followed by family dinner from 6-6:30. The Chancel Choir, teen through adult, sings weekly at the 10:00am Sunday liturgy and for Choral Evensong and Les-
sons & Carols services. Music reading skills are helpful, but not required, and can be gained and improved through regular attendance. The choir is supported by the Schola Cantorum, an octet of professional singers. Rehearsals are on Thursdays from 7-9pm and on Sunday mornings at 9am. St. Paul’s also offers opportunities for teen and adult instrumentalists. On Saturdays throughout the year, The Illumineers meet at 4pm to prepare music for the 5pm service. A teen ensemble made up of guitars, percussion, and piano, this jazz- and rock-based ensemble reads chord charts and improvises, all while supporting the casual atmosphere of the 5pm “Illuminated Worship” service. On the second Saturday of each month from 9:30 to 11:30am, The Palm Beach Recorder and Early Music Society, a chapter of the American Recorder Society, meets for directed playing sessions. The group is open to all players of period instruments and vocalists as well. In additional to these ensembles, St. Paul’s offers musical instruction for children and adults through group and private lessons. Gracie’s Little Groovers is a parent/child music and movement class led by Gracie Schreffler, a certified teacher of “The Learning Groove” music curriculum. These classes take place on Thursday mornings. For those interested in private piano and voice lessons, instructor Myngoe Brashears will be offering lessons on Mondays.
Innovation Campus To Host Human Trafficking Documentary Invisible On Thursday, August 22, Boca Raton Innovation Campus (BRiC) will host Place of Hope and their documentary Invisible: A Fight to End Human Trafficking which exposes human trafficking in the local area, including in Palm Beach County. The event is free and open to the public, though seats are on a first-come, first-serve basis. "At BRiC, we are focused on providing a platform to shed light on local and relevant issues and serve as a destination for the community. After hosting a tenant lunch and learn with Place of Hope, we became devoted to the mission and eager to find more ways to spread the word," said Giana Pacinelli, Marketing Director of Crocker Partners. Florida is among the three worst states for human trafficking and over 100 cases were reported in Palm Beach County in 2018. The documentary, which took almost a year to produce, will highlight some
of these cases. The August 22 premiere at BRiC will be the first public showing. Place of Hope currently has five campuses in Palm Beach County, providing family-style foster care (emergency and long-term) and safety for domestic minor sexually trafficked victims. "Our organization is built on our relationships," said Charles Bender III, Founding CEO of Place of Hope. "It's all about getting our foot in the door and spreading our message to get more involved in the movement. Our main campus is in Boca so there is nothing better than being able to partner with BRiC to bring attention to a critical, local program." The event will take place in BRiC's conference center (5000 T-Rex Ave) on Thursday, August 22 from 6pm-7:30pm. Space is limited. To reserve a spot, visit PlaceofHopeRinker.Org/Invisible-Presentation.
The Mersey Beatles, a Liverpoolborn Beatles tribute band and the house band for over a decade at the worldfamous Cavern Club, will perform at the Seminole Theatre in Homestead, Florida Saturday, October 5th at 8:00 p.m. Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Abbey Road, the band will play the entire album live followed by a set of greatest hits. Julia Baird, John Lennon’s sister and the Director of the Cavern Club, will be in attendance selling and signing copies of her book Imagine This: Growing Up with My Brother John Lennon at the general merchandise table before, during and after the show. She says, “The Mersey Beatles have been playing the Cavern Club for over 15 years and are one of the best you will see!” The Mersey Beatles are no ordinary tribute band. The lads grew up as childhood and schoolmate friends, just like The Beatles! They are the official Beatles tribute band representing the City
of Liverpool, and from 2002 to 2012, they were the resident tribute band at The Cavern Club, the nightclub in Liverpool, England, where The Beatles perfected their act before launching a global rock music revolution in the 1960s. Since 1999, the band has played sell-out shows in more than 20 countries, recreating the Beatles’ most popular hits. The show spans the Fab Four’s entire catalogue with four costume changes and authentic Liverpool accents, wit and charm. The Mersey Beatles recreate the Beatles’ sound and image with amazing accuracy using replica Hofner, Rickenbacker and Gretsch guitars and VOX and Ludwig gear.
