Diverse Music You Want to Know -- First UU's professional chamber music series, continues this winter. A main purpose of the series is to showcase the music of "underrepresented" composers, those whose music is not frequently performed.
The series has just received a grant from the Greater Columbus Arts Council, for 2010.
Look for these upcoming musical events at First UU:
March 20: Dr. Tony's Original Ragtime Band – ragtime, early blues and jazz, Tin Pan Alley and pop favorites from the early 20th century.
April 17: Youth Talent Night - a showcase for the many talents of First UU's teens and young people, and a fund raise for the youth justice trip to New Orleans.
April 23: Karaoke Sing-along – Les Kleen brings his huge collection of favorite songs from all eras for an evening of group karaoke. |

Wednesdays, March 31st, April 7th and 14th, 7 – 9 PM
Contact Tom Baillieul or Len Powlick
What does art tell us about the diversity of beliefs and practices in early Christianity? How was the 1st Millennium different from anything we've ever been taught? We'll explore the paucity of crucifixion and resurrection images in early Christian churches - and ponder the meaning of the Celtic Sheela-na-gig, a stylized carving of a female placed over church doorways to ward off evil with graphically displayed genitalia. We'll see how the Christian church communicated doctrine to its followers through the media of painting, sculpture, mosaic, and theater. Why and how did things change, and how are these changes reflected in the art of the times? We'll draw on ideas presented in the 2009 book, Saving Paradise, by Rita Nakashima Brock and Rebecca Ann Parker (described in the Summer 2008 UU World) and various art history books.
