Local musicians Amy King (violin) and Bryan Bird (piano) will be  
sharing their talents THIS WEDNESDAY, APRIL 5, at 7:00 P.M. in a  
Lenten-themed program called "Hosanna!"

Much of the program consists of choral and piano arrangements they  
have adapted for violin and piano, including the title song based on  
the hymn "Hosanna, Loud Hosanna." Amy and Bryan have put together  
about 50 minutes' worth of upbeat, reflective, majestic, and fun  
music focusing on Palm Sunday, Holy Week, and Easter.

The concert will take place at St. Paul United Church of Christ, 9715  
East River Road in Elyria. Admission is free and open to the public,  
and a free-will offering will be collected to benefit the church's  
music fund.
