The Sacred Music of Duke Ellington

Featuring Dee Daniels • Marcus Mosely •  Fred Stride Orchestra • the Sacred Music Gospel Choir  •  Tap Dancer: Alex Dugdale

A Fundraising Performance of DUKE ELLINGTON’S SACRED MUSIC Benefitting the Work of First United Church

Duke Ellington considered the Sacred Concert to be amongst his most significant accomplishments and devoted the last years of his life to performing the program hundreds of times throughout the world. Last year marked the first full concert performance of the Sacred Music of Duke Ellington in Western Canada. Rick Cluff, emcee for the evening, was at a loss for words and many described the event as “spectacular.” An audience of almost a thousand was treated to a magnificent, soulful performance. 

Dee Daniels and Marcus Mosely with the Fred Stride Orchestra will bring their gospel background, blues flavouring, and unique styling to the performance. Proceeds will benefit the work of First United Church, which has supported those most in need in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside for 125 years, providing shelter and services for more than 600 people daily.
