Saint Paul's Music Guild Presents: Theodicy!Based in Atlanta, Georgia the Rev. Andrew Barnett is the founding director of Theodicy Jazz Collective. This eclectic group of musicians is arguably the nation’s foremost liturgically based jazz ensemble, having led services and workshops at venues such as Washington National Cathedral, Canterbury Cathedral, and Oxford and Yale universities.
The Theodicy Jazz Collective was formed at Oberlin Conservatory in 2006 and grew during residency at the Yale Institute of Sacred Music from 2008 to 2012. The band creates and leads services for a multitude of churches. The ensemble incorporates sounds from the traditions of jazz and gospel music and rhythms from Latin America and Africa.
Theodicy describes their music as “a constant prayer, sometimes a shout of joy, sometimes a call to action, sometimes a cry for hope.”
The concert at St. Paul's is on March 2nd. This concert directly follows the 4:00 service of Evensong and is open to the public with free will donations gratefully accepted.
