Bethel Ame Church invites the community to celebrate the Christmas holidays with a Jazz Vespers service. Make a Joyful Noise! will be held on Dec. 11 at 4 p.m. It will be held at the church, located at 512 N. Church Street in Moorestown.
Jazz Vespers is a new take on an old service and is typically held in the late afternoon or early evening. The service includes prayers, poetry, reflection, and music, specifically, Jazz. This is the seventh anniversary of Bethel’s Jazz Vespers. The music offered will be a mixture of jazz and holiday music and all appropriate to get listeners into the spirit of the season.
Appearing this year will be The Diane Monroe and Tony Miceli Duo. Monroe on jazz violin, and Miceli on the vibraphone, are two of Philadelphia’s most revered jazz artists and have been playing together since the mid-1980s. Both Monroe and Miceli have long histories of forging rich collaborations in Philadelphia and beyond.
