At La Jolla Presbyterian Church we’re all about
Nurturing, Equipping, Going, and Celebrating. Our
music program provides one means by which you can
explore all four of these core values. We are blessed
at LJPC to have eight music ensembles featured
in our Sunday services. We invite you to check the
chart to the right to see when each group performs
(dates subject to change). Whether you enjoy singing,
playing music or prefer to listen and be inspired,
there is a place for you at LJPC!

Presented by the LJPC Clipper Club, this concert will be a moving tribute to
not only those who perished on that day, but to the human spirit that enabled
thousands to survive and to help each other heal in the aftermath of one of the
most difficult days in American history. The concert will feature a selection of
uplifting songs, ranging from spirituals, to pop and patriotic classics. A portion
of the proceeds from this event will be given to San Diego’s Firefighters Aid
organization. Please join us for this incredible evening.

Organist and composer Chelsea Chen grew up at LJPC, and is back to present
a concert to rededicate our newly refurbished and expanded organ. She is one
of the most promising organists of her generation, and has electrified audiences
throughout the United States, Europe, Australia, and Asia. She has composed
several original compositions, and has adapted music ranging from major
classical repertoire to video game soundtracks to Taiwanese folk songs for the
organ and other instruments.

The Clipper Club of LJPC brings us the Wheation College Symphony Orchestra.
They describe the making of music as an act of worship and service, calling for
excellence as the norm of stewardship, and relating all of human creativity to
the Glory of God. The orchestra plays music from the wide gamut of symphonic
forms and eras, from the Baroque period to music of our time. The orchestra will
perform a new work written for the orchestra by award-winning composition
faculty member, Dr. Shawn Okpebholo and the Saint-Saens Organ Symphony
featuring our organist, William Lullo.
Pipe Organ Re-dedication: Chelsea Chen*

“Gloria!” With this word the angels announced the birth of Christ, and with
this word we open our annual Christmas extravaganza at LJPC in a program
featuring many of our ensembles. Led by our Chancel Choir and accompanied
by our LJ brass and a professional orchestra, this concert will highlight Poulenc’s
sparkling music, “Gloria.” The last half of the concert will involve readings, carols
and anthems old and new, and opportunities for the congregation to sing along.
Our children will contribute to the first performance.

Our spring choral concert will feature two spectacular settings, one Classical
and the other Gospel. Masters of their genres, Haydn and Ray have composed
music of power and passion to express the truths of these words. Haydn’s
Lord Nelson Mass for chorus and orchestra reflects Haydn’s deep, personal
faith. Robert Ray’s classic gospel version of an English translation of these
same texts--accompanied by piano, bass and drum set--has been performed
in churches and cathedrals.
Hornswoggle “A Night at the Movies”*
LJPC’s Greatest Hits
Hornswoggle is a convivial group of horn players of all ages that perform French
Horn ensemble music. Many of them are hobbyists, others are band/orchestra
directors, free lancers, professionals, private horn instructors, and high school and
college music students. Conductor, John Lorge, San Diego Symphony’s Principal
Horn Emeritus, brings many years of professional musician’s experience.
Hornswoggle plays at many different events around San Diego County throughout
the year.
One of our Core Values at La Jolla Presbyterian Church is Celebrating, and
that’s what this concert is all about! Our music ensembles work hard to
prepare a piece and then often have only one opportunity to present it during
the church year. Our Chancel Choir, LJ Brass, LJPC Orchestra, and Hand Bell
Choir will select their favorite pieces presented during 2015-2016. The result
will be our “2nd Annual Greatest Hits Concert.” Please join us as we celebrate
God’s gift of music.
