Concluding the season of the Venice Community Concert Series is one of the most talented families in our community. Chris, Karen, William, and Nicholas Romig will delight us with favorites for flute, piano, bass, and percussion. This couple and their two sons have spent many years entertaining audiences with their virtuosity, musicality, and engaging stage presence. We couldn’t think of anything more inspiring to end the season than having the Romig’s give a little piece of their family heart to us all.

Joined by Special Guest (and also Karen’s Niece!) Lauren Asimakoupoulos

We regret the DePue Brothers concert has been cancelled. Alex DePue was tragically killed in a car accident last Wednesday in Mexico. Our prayers go out to his new wife, family, and friends.

Refunds will be issued. If you have purchased tickets, we will reach out to you by email or phone to discuss the process.

The DePue Brothers Band encompasses a vivid blend of bluegrass, classical, and rock genres. Hailing from Bowling Green, Ohio, the brothers are the founders of the term “grassical music”, pioneering this style in the early 1990’s. Each of the four DePue brothers is a classical violin virtuoso in his own right, and brings rich and diverse talents to their sound. Though performing with the band is a family affair they joyfully fit in amongst their individual music careers — Each band member brings impressive credentials to the band, with drummer/manager, and nucleus.

For four decades, Ken Medema has inspired people through storytelling and music. Though blind from birth, Ken sees and hears with heart and mind.  His ability to capture spirit in word and song is unparalleled. Part of the experience of Ken’s concerts is the moment he asks the audience for words or sentences, and he composes a song on the spot. Truly, this is not a concert you will want to miss.

Tim Zimmerman and the King's Brass provide innovative worship for young and old alike through the "best in sacred brass music." By teaming together, these Christian professionals from around the United States perform their original arrangements as heard on their fifteen recordings. For forty years, The King's Brass have performed over one hundred concerts each season with three trumpets, three trombones, a tuba, keyboards, and percussion. Playing a wide variety of music from Gabrieli to hymn classics, from Handel to jazz spirituals, from Christmas carols to patriotic marches, The King's Brass uses all corners of the concert hall to lift hearts and spirits in praise.

Two Performances available:

• Matinee at 3:00 PM

• Evening at 7:00 PM

Please note that King’s Brass will NOT be performing at Sunday’s Worship as they have in the past. This is your only chance to see them at Venice Presbyterian Church.

As we bid farewell to our Minister of Music and Worship, join us for a night of celebration and great music. Not only will Jamal sing solos, but will perform, with friends, some of his favorites from gospel music to piano and organ duets, music for brass and organ, and even a southern gospel hymn sing to end the night. While we might be sad to see him go, we are excited to have this night of celebration and music to send him and Genna off as they prepare for new ministry in Colorado Springs.
