Benefit
Concert
Featuring Gabe Omolida on piano

First
Presbyterian Church Presents "Gabe
Omolida on Piano" - a Benefit Concert in support of
the First Church Refugee Sponsorship Project
The
Covid-19 Pandemic has slowed down the arrival of our refugee
family from South Sudan, but we are continuing
to
raise money to support the Matthiang/Thiey family during
their first year in Canada. We are more than half way to
our goal of $60,000, but need to keep up the momentum so
that we are ready to welcome them when they come. Gabe
Omolida has kindly put together a piano recital for
us to enjoy,
share, and respond to with our thankful gifts for this
mission of hospitality.
At age 9, Gabe Omolida started taking piano lessons, following
the program of the
Royal Conservatory of Music in Canada.
His passion for music made him pursue a Bachelor’s
Degree in Music Performance with a Major in Piano.
Currently
he is going into his fourth year of undergraduate studies
at the University of Regina. During the school year,
Gabe is an active member of the Halcyon Choir and the University
of Regina’s Chamber Choir. He teaches piano to
younger kids and also accompanies for other music students.
He
has been a member of First Presbyterian Church since
2011, and
is a Music Scholar and on the Music Team. Being deeply
involved with the musical aspect at First Church, he
often plays for
the worship services and accompanies the choirs, as well
as sings in them. Gabe Omolida plans to continue his
studies in music in hopes of becoming both a university
professor
and a performer.
The concert will feature music by Bach, Beethoven, Chopin
and Lili Boulanger. You're invited to watch on YouTube (link
will be provided soon) on Sunday, June 13th at 7:00 pm (or
later, as the concert will stay up on the site).

Project will be
