Open & Affirming
Open and Affirming is the United Church of Christ’s designation for congregations, campus ministries, and other bodies in the UCC that make a public covenant of welcome into their full life and ministry to people of all sexual orientations, gender identities, and gender expressions.
Lakewood Congregational Church, United Church of Christ, is an Open and Affirming congregation. We welcome people of all sexual orientation, ages, differing abilities, and ethnic, economic, and racial backgrounds into the full life and ministry of our church. We declare this in the name of the Still Speaking God, whose Son, Jesus Christ, welcomed all people into God’s circle of grace.

Event Details
Join Les Delices as they prepare for their Myths and Allegories performance. We will be taking this program on tour to the Midwest, and this will be your only chance to hear this music in Northeast Ohio.
Open rehearsals break down conceptions about formality, build relationships with audience members, and banish preconceptions about what artistic “work” is. Audience members will be able to come in, listen, and learn about Les Délices’ working process at these events, while the ensemble prepares for upcoming concerts. Repeated listening also provides additional insight into the music.
This event is free and no registration is required

Les Delices brings their innovative baroque-jazz fusion program to a new level with fresh songs and arrangements featuring soprano Hélène Brunet and members of L’Harmonie des Saisons (Quebec). Timeless melodies and inspired improvisations bridge the gap between baroque composers and 20th-century songsters as we find common ground between the tender sentiments and rich harmonic language of 17th-century love songs and tunes made famous by Nina Simone, Edith Piaf, Billie Holiday, and more.
