The Spirit Speaks in the Present: Songwriting Within a Liturgical Context in the 21st Century

On March 2, 2013 @ 1-5 PM.  Holy Trinity Anglican Church will present an exciting and informative workshop followed by a concert by one of North America’s premier younger artists, Alana Levandoski!  Expect a thorough introduction to songwriting that will be informative, entertaining and interesting for both beginning and advanced writers.  As the workshop progresses, Alana will move into the area of writing for the church, willingly entering into mysterious territory and also practically examining the balance and honesty needed for Spirit-led creativity.

Then after a day of exploring the process of songwriting, Alana will perform a concert in the evening that you won’t want to miss.
