Black Tie and Blue Jeans
Written By: Jenny King | Issue: 2016/08 - August
On September 10 at 8:00 P.M. The Episcopal Church of the Incarnation in Highlands is presenting a Black Tie and Blue Jeans concert by renowned pianist Robert Henry.
As an educator, Henry presents lectures, master classes, youth concerts, and has been featured in American Music Teacher, Gramophone, and Clavier. He has served as recitalist, clinician, and juror for state, regional, and national MTNA conventions and competitions. He operates an exclusive private studio in Atlanta. Presently, Henry is Artistic Director of the Great Performances Concert Series in Highlands; Assistant Director of the Atlanta Boy Choir; Organist-Choirmaster of the Episcopal Church of the Incarnation in Highlands; and he proudly serves as Artist-in-Residence at Kennesaw State University in Atlanta.
As an active member of the church, Henry is donating his talents to help raise funds for the Lake Logan Episcopal Center in Canton, North Carolina. This historic retreat hosts spiritual retreats, conferences, weddings, and family reunions. It’s a beautiful and serene place to rest, relax, fish, hike and recreate for the individual. Lake Logan is the home of Camp Henry, where children from all over the South can spend up to five weeks. Incarnation supports Camp Henry with scholarships so that no child is turned down because of finances. One such shy child who is slightly autistic, ended his first experience away from home by entertaining the camp from the stage with jokes. His mother said, “He came out of his shell and is a different child.”
Currently the Lake Logan Episcopal Center offers lodging, recreation, and dining in one of the most beautiful valleys in North Carolina and its mission is to serve Christ by welcoming all generations to experience restoration and reconciliation with God, one another, and all creation. All religious and nondenominational groups are welcome. To view this small bit of God’s handiwork, visit LakeLogan.org.
The Black Tie and Blue Jeans concert will be held in the Main Sanctuary of the church and begins at 8:00 P.M., Saturday, September 10. Ticket prices are $100 per person. For tickets and more information, contact the Episcopal Church of the Incarnation at (828) 526-2968.
