The 4th Annual Baha'i Choral Music Festival

[mara97527]

What a wonderful event...Do they have it every year? We would love to go sometime.

[BahaiNationalCenter]

@mara97527 Yes, the Choral Festival is once a year. Most commonly it is held the Sunday of Memorial Day Weekend.

This is so beautiful. Does this festival happen every year? My dream is to visit all Baha'i Houses of Worship and it would be nice to be in Wilmette Temple during this Festival.

[BahaiNationalCenter]

@Owenmaa Yes, the Choral Festival is once a year. Most commonly it is held the Sunday of Memorial Day Weekend.

Being a Baha'i is a great honor. It is home, hope and the answer to world Unity, Justice, Health and Peace for all.

[aimes2011]

@menderfire9 Jesus is the only answer to unity, justice, health, and peace for all.

Nearly 250 talented voices from eight nations will sing beautiful sacred music in the 2011 Baha’i Choral Festival with two free public concerts on Sunday May 29th at Wilmette’s renowned Baha’i Temple. Rich harmonies and uplifting music will fill the 1,200-seat Baha’i House of Worship beginning at 9:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. Sunday.

I have always been attached to Religion as a practice, then I moved into viewing it as a theology only, then later I became to understand it as a pillosophy. Thus, I dont assert or allocate myself into any particular religion; yet I always adore Bahaism, it is one of my favorate.

@arabmadridista I enjoyed your comment and sincerity, music is the universal language and love is the key...

Smiles,

Charles

Is this available on cd? I would love to have it in my car!?

[ErikoKojima]

@Susanemily78

It should be available pretty soon.

[singingvan]

Maybe you'll come next year!

[colloredbrothers]

I want to move to America as soon as possible, I need to walk the house of god and do all sorts of activities with the baha'i center.

I hope to one day have a home in LA and visit one of these concerts, then I am where I should be.

[ErikoKojima]

The missing piece in this video from these concerts, "Blessed is the Spot," (music composed by Charles Wolcott), is now up elsewhere on youtube. Please take a listen to that, too.

Can we download this to our own computers? I'm not a technogeek at all. Would love to be able to use at feast or holy days.

[azbahai]

@avillagedream wasn't sure if you got an answer to your question. I am not a techogeek by any stretch of the imagination. but you can save to a you tube account, if you sign up for an account with you tube(free) can down load to a favorate area on your account and replay as much as you want. I would think the storage needed for same othrwise would be unthinkable and way more than the average home computer system could be able to handle.

[jorj119]

[aislinn119]

[deeniejansen]

To experience this in person would have been perfect!

[ErikoKojima]

Wow, that was quick! Thanks to all that worked on this video.

This was beautiful! I wish I could have been there to enjoy it in person. Thank you.
